Excerpt from The Etchings of Piranesi
The Aventine, which once belonged tothe Priory of the Knights of St. John. There is there a statue of some merit Which commemorates him, and the fact that he, as architect, restored and decorated that Church ten years or more before his death. He also restored the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, Which everybody visits in Rome on account of its superb monuments of the Renaissance; and his work as architect in the interior of this Church, at least, is not without some merit in a conventional and aca demical 'way. This, however, is of little account. Piranesi is known now in one way only,' and in that way is not half S6 Well known as he should be. His big etchings of architectural subjects are too big for collecto'rs to enjoy heartily. Your true collector is a man of minute and delicate little refinements and sub tile distinctions in his tastes and in his ways, and Piranesi's Works are big and bold. Moreover, no body's house is large enough, at least in'the cities, to contain Piranesi's work With any satisfaction or com.
