Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) - Veduta di obelischi

Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) – Architectural View with Obelisks Architectural view with obelisks, executed according to the famous engraving language of Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778), one of the most important Italian engravers of the 18th century. Piranesi began the celebrated series Vedute di Roma around 1748, continuing to work on it until his death in 1778. The composition features monumental architectures and obelisks, with small figures that contribute to the depth and perspective of the scene. The numbers 7 appear in the upper right and 10 in the lower part, referable to the plate’s numbering. We are, however, unable to determine with certainty that this print is from the eighteenth century. It is plausible that it could be a production between the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century, made using laid paper.
