Stefano della Bella (1610 - 1664)
SIX LARGE VIEWS OF ROME AND THE CAMPAGNA. DeVesme/Massar 832 – 837. Complete set of six etchings, all approximately 310 x 280 mm (12 3/16" x 11") plus narrow margins. All are fine impressions in very good condition, in general.
Phyllis Massar* notes that “these various Roman views, checked against other contemporary and more purely topographic prints, are found to be extremely accurate. They are based on drawings made on the spot, many of which were in two sketchbooks (now dismantled) at the Uffizi. Some of the drawings have been published, see Egger: Römische Veduten, and Maganuco: Stefano della Bella.” Related drawings are in collections at Windsor, the Louvre and the Uffizi.
