EDITORS COMMENTS
The Vase of the Medici, 1656" is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Greece. Created by the talented artist Stefano della Bella in the 17th century, this artwork showcases his mastery of classical themes and Roman mythology. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Medici vase, an exquisite artifact that symbolizes power and grandeur. It was commissioned by Cosimo III de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, as a testament to his love for Greek culture and heritage. The vase stands tall amidst a lush garden filled with acanthus leaves, adding an element of architectural beauty to its surroundings. Intriguingly, we see figures from Greek mythology depicted on the vase. Artemis (Diana), the goddess of hunting and wilderness, takes center stage alongside Diane dephese - both mythical figures revered for their strength and grace. This portrayal highlights not only della Bella's artistic skill but also his deep understanding of ancient legends. As we admire this print at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are transported to a time when gods walked among men and marble statues adorned opulent villas like Villa Medici in Italy. Through this artwork, Stefano della Bella invites us to appreciate art's ability to transcend time and connect us with our rich cultural pasts.
