Views of the Villa Pratolino (pl. 1 to 5). Circa 1653. Etching. Each approx. 370x250mm. Vesme-Massar 838 to 842. Very fine proofs on Italian laid paper, of the 1st state (of 2), before the lower right number in the tablet, trimmed on the plate cut. Set of 5 p.
Returning to Florence in 1650, Stefano della Bella continued to send plates to his Parisian publishers, while completing several commissions for the Medici family.
