1770038298Rome 1770. 1st Edition . No Binding. Near Fine. Large Engraving Image Size 11 5/8" X7 3/4". Strong Impression Thick Heavy Ink Easily Felt By Hand On Laid Paper One Of A Large Collection Of Original Antique Engravings Formed By A Southern California Artist In The Early To Middle Twentieth Century. Giovanni Battista Also Giambattista Piranesi 1720 - 1778 Was An Italian Artist Famous For His Etchings Of Rome And Of Fictitious And Atmospheric "Prisons" Le Carceri D'invenzione. It Is Important To Look At His Contribution As An Archaeologist Which Was Acknowledged At The Time As He Had Been Elected To The London Society Of Antiquaries. His Influence Of Technical Drawings In Antiquarian Publications Is Often Overshadowed. He Left Explanatory Notes In The Lower Margin About The Structure And Ornament. Most Ancient Monuments In Rome Were Abandoned In Fields And Gardens. Piranesi Tried To Preserve Them With His Engravings. To Do This Piranesi Pushed Himself To Achieve Realism In His Work. A Third Of The Monuments In Piranesi's Engravings Have Disappeared And The Stucco And Surfacings Were Often Stolen Restored And Modified Clumsily. Piranesi's Precise Observational Skills Allow People To Experience The Atmosphere In Rome In The Eighteenth Century. Piranesi May Have Recognised His Role To Disseminate Remarkable Information Through Meaningful Images. He Became The Director Of The Portici Museum In 1751. Wikipedia. <br/> <br/> unknown
