Original Piranesi Etching from "Views of Rome" (1757)
Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s series of 135 etchings, Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome), was created from the 1740s until his death in 1778. The Italian draftsman, architect, and artist combined his architectural training with artistic skill to produce highly detailed renderings of Rome’s monuments. His innovative prints revolutionized the depiction of cityscapes and ancient ruins, using dramatic scale, intricate detail, and striking contrasts to heighten architectural grandeur while capturing lifelike human and animal figures with remarkable precision.
