Beschreibung
Venetian architect, Piranesi, went to Rome in 1740 and became the recorder of Roman antiquities in hundreds of etchings. His feelings for the poetry of ruins, his romantic archaeology, and his dramatic exploitation of the contrasts of light and shade possible in etching exerted great influence on 18th-century architecture. His views of ancient Rome are expressions of his pronounced painterly and poetic imagination, with his oeuvre being distinguished by his unusual architectural visions and detailed archaeological works. They show ghostly, eerily empty and menacing buildings that tower up and appear like visions of dungeons. His most famous work, the "Vedute", formed the basis of the mental image of Rome possessed by thousands who never went there. This volume of complete etchings documents 695 engravings by Piranesi. The annotations, in which he displayed his talent as one of the most brilliant writers of the 18th-century, have been transcribed in this work.
