EDITORS COMMENTS
is a bound volume of five etchings created and published between 1800 and 1809 by the renowned Italian artist and architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his son Francesco Piranesi. This collection showcases the artistic brilliance and innovative vision of the Piranesi family in the realm of architectural and artistic depiction. The first plate, "Prima Parte," presents a series of fantastical architectural designs, characterized by intricate details and a sense of grandeur. The "Grotteschi" plate showcases elaborate ornamental motifs inspired by ancient Roman grotesque decorations. The "Carceri" series, consisting of three plates, depicts imaginary prisons, revealing Piranesi's fascination with the dark and mysterious aspects of ancient Roman architecture. The "Alcuna Vedute" plate offers a unique perspective on various Roman ruins, while the "Trofei di Ottaviano Augusto" plate showcases a collection of trophies and weapons, further highlighting Piranesi's mastery of the etching technique. These etchings, bound in a single volume, represent a significant contribution to the art and architectural history of the 18th and 19th centuries. The black and white, monochrome images evoke a sense of timelessness and heritage, transporting the viewer to ancient Rome and the artistic world of the Piranesi family. This collection is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, architecture, and the concept of the imaginary in art. These etchings are now part of the prestigious collections of various art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The bound volume, with its intricate designs and historical significance, continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists and architects to this day.
