EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of history from the 17th century. Titled "Chile, from Game of Geography (Jeu de la Geographie), 1644" it showcases an allegorical figure representing Chile, surrounded by indigenous American Indian people. The image is an etching by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, who was known for his intricate and detailed works. In this particular artwork, he beautifully depicts the native clothing and costumes worn by the Chilean people during that time period. The scene portrays a card game being played among the figures, symbolizing their representation in the New World. The French influence is evident as well since Jean Desmarets de Saint Sorlin collaborated with della Bella on this project. This print offers us a glimpse into both the local culture of Chile and its historical connection to European exploration. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures interacted during this era and highlights the rich heritage of indigenous peoples in South America. Displayed in museums around the world today, this artwork stands as a testament to Stefano della Bella's artistic skill and his ability to capture diverse representations within one composition.
