Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

This extraordinary large folio etching is from Giovanni Battista Piranesi's Vedute di Roma. This from a mixed edition of the work published in Rome & Paris likely published c1778 to early 1800s. The etchings are on laid paper some with watermark.Piranesi noted, "When I saw in Rome how most of the remains of ancient buildings lay scattered through gardens and ploughed fields where they dwindled day by day … I resolved to preserve them by means of engravings. I have therefore drawn these ruins with all possible exquisiteness."Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is known as one of the most famous architectural artists of all times. Born in Venice and later settled in Rome, the young Piranesi first aspired to be an architect. After having little luck in his studied field, he turned instead to the art of architecture. His work masterfully used light and space to create depth and detail in his exceptional work. "No other author [artist] before or since was capable of visions of grandeur that could so excite and inspire the enthusiast." (Scott, Piranesi, 1975, p.127) --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be some scattered foxing to the paper. There may be some signs of handling at the edges. This is very large paper that would have been line dried and you can see the faint crease of this to the paper, but it is not deep and part of the process used at the time. There may be a few minor marks or imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. - Some of the engraving lines with the photography process will create a color effect but the engravings are without color. --- Paper Size ~ 33 1/2" by 22 1/2".…
