EDITORS COMMENTS
or "First Part of Architecture and Perspectives," is a seminal work by the renowned Italian artist and printmaker, Giovanni Battista Piranesi. This first edition, third issue of the publication was originally dated 1743 but was actually printed in 1747. The title page features a beautiful title plate with the artist's name prominently displayed, while the dedication page bears the reset text with the initials "R" and the number "iii." The volume contains 18 plates, with states ii, r2, 3, 5, and 12 being the most notable. These plates showcase Piranesi's mastery of architectural and perspective drawing, with intricate depictions of ancient ruins and fantastical architectural scenes. The monochrome, greyscale images, reminiscent of the 18th century, have a timeless quality that continues to captivate viewers today. The "First Part of Architecture and Perspectives" is an essential work in the history of art, particularly in the realm of architectural illustration. Piranesi's innovative approach to perspective and his ability to create dramatic, evocative images of ruins and imaginary structures have influenced generations of artists and architects. This bound volume, now a precious artefact, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century and the enduring allure of Piranesi's work. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, architecture, and the history of visual representation. Whether displayed in an art gallery or art center, this Piranesi masterpiece continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to explore the depths of our collective artistic and architectural past.
