Acquaforte misure: mm 80 x 243 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 7 della serie Ornamenti di fregi e fogliami, composta da sedici stampe. In questo foglio troviamo una scena molto intima e dolce; al centro, in una sorta di ghirlanda circolare c'è Cupido assopito e, dietro una tenda scostata, Venere che lo contempla e veglia il suo sonno. Dalla ghirlanda centrale si diramano girali di fogliame dalle quali, sia a destra che a sinistra, sembra generarsi una ninfa che abbraccia un putto, come un madre il suo bimbo. In basso, inciso nel margine inferiore, "Stef. della Bella inu & fec.", "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 (Vienna 1640 - 1703). Bibliografia: De Vesme-Massar 993, pag. 216.

Acquaforte misure: mm 164 × 130 Pittore ed incisore allievo di Guido Reni e di Giovanni Andrea Sirani dai quali spesso ha desunto i soggetti delle sue incisioni. Più noto come incisore che come pittore segue i modi classicisti del maestro Guido Reni adottando un segno chiaro e sciolto; è oggi considerato uno dei protagonisti del panorama grafico bolognese di pieno Seicento; a lui vengono ricondotte venticinque lastre in tutto secondo Bartsch nelle quali si evince qualche incertezza nelle morsure. In questo foglio viene raffigurato cupido colto in una posa classica che teneramente giace su dei cuscini lasciati a terra, la scena si svolge all'interno di una tenda lasciata aperta in modo da mostrare allo spettatore il paesaggio sullo sfondo caratterizzato da un esile arbusto e da delle rocce. Il dio dell'Amore è assopito, ha gli occhi chiusi e la bocca aperta e a terra possiamo notare abbandonati l'arco e le frecce. Buona impressione nello stato unico, foglio rifilato lungo l’impronta del rame, carta ingiallita, una macchia nell’angolo superiore destro del foglio e un piccolo foro sul ventre di cupido. L’incisione è applicata in antico su una pagina di album (databile al secolo XVIII). Bibliografia: Bartsch, “Le Peintre Graveur”, vol. 19, pag. 91, n° 20; The Illustrated Bartsch, vol. 42, 20 (176).
