Piranesi: The Complete Etchings

Ficacci (curator of the National Institute of Graphic Arts in Rome) presents the complete copperplate etchings of Piranesi, one of the greatest draftsmen of architectural spaces both real and imagined.

The works provide exquisitely detailed views of ancient and modern Rome's prisons, churches, bridges, arches, temples, gardens, piazzas, villas, tombs, ornamental letters and architectural details.

Each of the 31 sections is introduced by text in English, German, and French. The book contains 1,030 illustrations.
