Street Seller of Prints, Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, 1684
etching, h 197mm × w 272mm More details
All the prints on this wall come from the collection of Simon Emmering and depict the interaction with books and art. This Italian street vendor is selling prints. They all relate to the Ottoman-Venetian war that was then raging. However, people have had enough of the war news: on the left, a man plugs his ears, while on the right, another man flees covering his eyes with his hand.
