Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) In his engravings, Piranesi presented an evocative vision of the architecture of ancient Rome, in which, while maintaining fidelity to detail, he created synthetic views of ancient buildings, exaggerating them in striking perspective shots and dramatizing them through the use of strong chiaroscuro contrasts. A beautifully produced album.
