Acquaforte misure: mm 80 x 240 Incisore e disegnatore, si dedicò sporadicamente alla pittura. Il padre Francesco, scultore allievo di Giambologna, morì prematuramente ma riuscì ad avviare tutti i suoi figli a mestieri d’arte. Stefano fu il solo ad eccellere, ebbe i primi insegnamenti presso botteghe di dimenticati orefici i quali ebbero tuttavia il pregio di fargli prender dimestichezza con il bulino. Fu sostanzialmente un autodidatta. Le fonti bibliografiche affermano che egli si esercitava a disegnare figure curiosamente partendo dai piedi e a copiare le incisioni di Jacques Callot avendo come unico confronto l'incisore Remigio Cantagallina. Fu notato poi dal pittore Giovan Battista Vanni che lo prese nella sua bottega e gli diede i primi insegnamenti di pittura e del disegno. La vocazione di Della Bella fu sicuramente l'incisione e già le sue prime opere rivelano i temi a lui più cari: scene di vita contemporanea, feste, battaglie e le decorazioni. Lo studio delle incisioni e dei disegno di maestri antichi, la conoscenza e il confronto con i maestri fiorentini e fiamminghi a lui contemporanei allora presenti alla corte medicea furono furono di grande stimolo. Egli è considerato un grafico puro, grazie ai suoi numerosi viaggi tra Roma e Parigi e grazie alla protezione dei Medici maturò un proprio linguaggio grafico, in vita e per tutto il XVIII secolo fu ricercato e collezionato in Francia e in Italia. Questa è la tavola numero 15 della serie Ornamenti di fregi e fogliami, composta da sedici stampe. La tavola si divide in un fregio nelle parte superiore e due schizzi nel margine inferiore. Nel pannello superiore in un girale vegetale fanno capolino i corpi di due bambini; quello a sinistra sta decorando con ghirlande il corpo di un'aquila, mentre quello di destra la criniera di un leone. Nel zona inferiore, sempre con tratto fine ed elegante, vediamo a sinistra un tritone che brandendo un bastone cavalca un cervo marino e a destra il profilo della testa di un satiro. In basso, inciso nel margine inferiore, "Stef. della Bella inuent. et fecit", "N. Langlois excu", "Cum Priuil Regis" e numero. Impressione eccellente. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Stato: III/VI con l'indirizzo N. Langlois (Parigi 1640 - 1703). Bibliografia: De Vesme-Massar 1001, pag. 218.

Very Good French In contemporary 1/3 leather bdg. Small folio. (33 x 26 cm). In French. [10] ,214, [4] p., 'c' numerous b/w plates. La peinture Indienne a l'epoque des Grands Moghols. First Edition. Rare. Sour cadette de la rayonnante miniature persane, la peinture moghole ne fut étudiée qu'à dater du début de ce siècle. Elle n'était considérée jusqu'à ce jour que sous l'aspect d'une branche souvent inférieure des expressions esthétiques iraniennes. Vue sous l'angle de l'art indien, elle retrouve la place importante qui lui était due. Nous avons rendu compte dans les notes bibliographiques de ce Bulletin, M. Parmentier en 1919, nous-même en 1929, d'un ouvrage de M. E. B. Havell intitulé Indian Sculpture and Painting. Cet auteur eut le premier le mérite de placer l'école moghole et l'école néo-indienne à leur rang légitime. M. I. S. rend un juste hommage à M. Havell ainsi qu'à ses successeurs dans l'appréciation des choses sous cet angle nouveau. Il était cependant fort regrettable de constater la pauvreté de la littérature française sur cette question. Nous ne pouvons donc que féliciter vivement M. I. S. de nous avoir offert un important volume sur un sujet à peu près neuf dans notre langue. La nouveauté de ce dernier exigeait la méthode rigoureuse qui a présidé à l'élaboration de ce travail. Dans une première partie historique, M. I. S. étudie la filiation des traditions anciennes avec l'école moghole et néo-indienne. L'auteur insiste sur la continuité de la tradition artistique indienne. Les moyens d'expression des formes picturales de l'homme, puis de la nature, leur définition et leur classement font l'objet d'une seconde partie analytique. Enfin, l'auteur entreprend de déterminer la formation esthétique de la peinture moghole dans une dernière partie, où il étudie, synthétiquement, le rythme de la composition et de la couleur, II est un fait certain : c'est la peinture qui s'est le moins bien conservée au cours des siècles. Cependant, quelques épaves ont miraculeusement survécu aux intempéries, aux invasions et aux guerres. Comme, d'autre part, de nombreuses allusions littéraires font mention de peintures, nous avons en mains les données suffisantes pour que l'historien d'art puisse reconstituer les étapes de l'évolution de cet art. Quoique notre connaissance des débuts soit nécessairement déformée par la légende, la peinture semble avoir tenu à cette époque lointaine une grande place dans la pensée indienne. Elle était le délassement préféré des princes, et la bibliographie amoureuse y trouve largement son compte. Toute personne cultivée avait chez elle le matériel nécessaire à l'exécution d'un portrait, et ceux-ci étaient, paraît-il, fort ressemblants. Mais le caractère profane de la représentation des personnages fut tel qu'au début il était interdit aux moines bouddhiques de séjourner dans les lieux où de pareilles images étaient exposées. Cette interdiction ne dura d'ailleurs pas et l'Eglise bouddhique comprit rapidement la nécessité d'user à son tour de ce puissant moyen de favoriser sa propagande. La connaissance de ces interdictions suffit à déterminer l'origine laïque de la peinture indienne. Les canons aux règles impérieuses ne font leur apparition que vers le VIIe siècle et superposent la formule d'école à l'inspiration directe de la nature. Ces lois enrayeront ainsi graduellement l'évolution de cette forme d'art. En ce qui concerne la décoration des monuments, les plus anciennes fresques sont celles delà grotte Jogimarâ (Orissâ) datant du début de notre ère et celles d'Ajantâ qui remontent, pour certaines «caves», aux deux premiers siècles. Ces représentations, dont le thème est emprunté aux Jàtakas, révèlent une technique en possession de moyens très développés. Notons en passant que les différents auteurs qui ont traité de ce sujet ne sont pas parfaitement d'accord sur les différents moyens mis en ouvre par cette technique. La symétrie des volumes, la sécheresse, une raideur générale, sont les
