GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIRANESI (Mogliano Veneto, 1720 – Rome, 1778) “Grand’Urna di Porfido,” 1756–1757. Etching on paper. Volume III, Plate XIX of *Le Antichità Romane*. Signed on the plate.

GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIRANESI (Mogliano Veneto, 1720 – Rome, 1778) “Grand’Urna di Porfido,” 1756–1757. Etching on paper. Volume III, Plate XIX of *Le Antichità Romane*. Signed on the plate. Measurements: 40.5 x 61 cm (print); 73.5 x 89 cm (frame). This print is part of *Le Antichità Romane*, a monumental publishing project through which Piranesi transformed the archaeological study of Rome into images of extraordinary visual power. The plate depicts the large porphyry urn found in the Mausoleum of Saint Helena, combining a reconstruction of the monument with sculptural fragments, reliefs, and architectural elements that evoke the grandeur of Antiquity. The Metropolitan Museum documents this same composition as Plate XIX of the third volume, published in 1756–1757. The precision of the etching is combined here with a distinctly scenographic conception: the strong diagonals, the hallmarks of light and shadow, and the accumulation of archaeological remains transform the documentary record into a monumental vision of Rome. Piranesi was a key figure in the international dissemination of classical culture and exerted a decisive influence on 18th-century European taste. His graphic work is widely represented in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London.

Piranesi, Folio - View of the remains of the second story of the Baths of Titus [Veduta degli Avanzi dell Fabbriche del Secondo Piano delle Terme di Tito]
Est: $2,000 - $4,000
This extraordinary large folio etching is from Giovanni Battista Piranesi's "Vedute di Roma". This from a mixed edition of the work published in Rome & Paris likely published c1778 to early 1800s. The etchings are on laid paper some with watermark. Piranesi noted, "When I saw in Rome how most of the remains of ancient buildings lay scattered through gardens and ploughed fields where they dwindled day by day … I resolved to preserve them by means of engravings. I have therefore drawn these ruins with all possible exquisiteness." Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is known as one of the most famous architectural artists of all times. Born in Venice and later settled in Rome, the young Piranesi first aspired to be an architect. After having little luck in his studied field, he turned instead to the art of architecture. His work masterfully used light and space to create depth and detail in his exceptional work. "No other author [artist] before or since was capable of visions of grandeur that could so excite and inspire the enthusiast." (Scott, Piranesi, 1975, p.127)

View Of The Remains Of The Tomb Of The Plautii Family At Tivoli

Sheet Size: 825 x 565 mm (32.48 x 22.24 in) Plate Size: 618 x 458 mm (24.33 x 18.03 in) GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIRANESI ITALIAN, VENICE 1720 1778 ROME. Italian, Venice 1720 1778 Rome View Of The Remains Of The Tomb Of The Plautii Family At Tivoli Source Of Image: Giovanni Battista Piranesi Printmaker: Giovanni Battista Piranesi Dated 1761 Medium: Etching Watermarks: Dovecote, Dupuy Auvergne First Paris Edition, 1800 1809 Catalogue References: Wilton Ely 216, Focillon 783, Hind (Piranesi) 83 1(3) Rijksmuseum Inventory Numbers: Rp P 1941 666, Rp P Ob 39.378 View Of The Remains Of The Tomb Of The Plautii Family At Tivoli Is An Etched Copperplate Print Completed In 1767 By Giovanni Battista Piranesi, An Italian Classical Archaeologist, Architect And Artist. It Belongs To His Celebrated Series Vedute Di Roma (Views Of Rome). The Suite Encompasses All Of Rome’S Most Iconic Classical Monuments, Including The Colosseum, The Pantheon, Trajan’S Column And The Roman Forum, Alongside Depictions Of The City As It Appeared In Piranesi’S Lifetime. Piranesi Developed A Highly Distinctive Approach To Rendering Rome’S Ancient Architecture And Ruins. He Deliberately Adopted A Low Vantage Point And Manipulated The Scale And Mass Of Buildings, While Rendering Human Figures Within The Scene At A Diminutive Proportion. This Artistic Device Magnifies The Monumental Grandeur And Solemn Memorial Character Of The Structures. During Piranesi’S Era, A Long Running Debate Divided Architectural Scholars: The Dominant Camp Upheld The Superiority Of Greek Antiquities Over Roman Ones. Piranesi Aligned Himself With The Pro Roman Faction, And His Prints Served As Powerful Visual Arguments Advancing His Stance. An Italian Inscription Runs Along The Lower Margin Of The Plate: "Veduta Degli' Avanzi Del Sepolcro Della Famiglia Plauzia Sulla Via Tiburtina Vicino Al Ponte Lugano Due Miglia Lontano Da Tivoli”. Its Literal Translation Reads: "View Of The Remains Of The Tomb Of The Plautii Family On The Tiburtine Way, Near The Lugano Bridge, Two Miles From Tivoli”. The Ruins Of The Tomb Of The Plautii Date Back More Than Two Thousand Years. Commissioned At The Time Of Christ’S Birth By Marcus Plautius Silvanus, A Friend Of The Emperor Augustus, The Monument Is A Vast Circular Edifice Built Following Etruscan Architectural Traditions. It Stands Upon A Square Base, With Its Cylindrical Tower Rising To A Height Of 35 Metres. Stone Stelae At The Tomb’S Entrance Record Biographical Details Of The Family Members Interred Within. Pope Adrian Iv Chose This Mausoleum As The Venue For His Meeting With Frederick Barbarossa. Michelangelo And Franz Liszt Both Passed The Site While Travelling To Tivoli, And Numerous Artists Captured Its Once Idyllic Pastoral Surroundings In Their Works. This Impression Bears Two Watermarks Characteristic Of Piranesi’S Later Editions: A Dovecote Motif And The Mark "Dupuy Auvergne”. The Paper Originates From The Grand River Paper Mill In France’S Auvergne Region, One Of The Most Significant Papermaking Establishments In 17Th And 18Th Century France, Owned At That Time By Thomas Dupuy. The Paper’S Provenance Confirms This Impression Is The Fourth Of Seven Distinct States, Known As The First Paris Edition, Produced Between 1800 And 1809.

Est: $2,000 - $4,000
This extraordinary large folio etching is from Giovanni Battista Piranesi's "Vedute di Roma". This from a mixed edition of the work published in Rome & Paris likely published c1778 to early 1800s. The etchings are on laid paper some with watermark. Piranesi noted, "When I saw in Rome how most of the remains of ancient buildings lay scattered through gardens and ploughed fields where they dwindled day by day … I resolved to preserve them by means of engravings. I have therefore drawn these ruins with all possible exquisiteness." Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is known as one of the most famous architectural artists of all times. Born in Venice and later settled in Rome, the young Piranesi first aspired to be an architect. After having little luck in his studied field, he turned instead to the art of architecture. His work masterfully used light and space to create depth and detail in his exceptional work. "No other author [artist] before or since was capable of visions of grandeur that could so excite and inspire the enthusiast." (Scott, Piranesi, 1975, p.127)

It belongs to his celebrated series Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome). The suite encompasses all of Rome’s most iconic classical monuments, including the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Trajan’s Column and the Roman Forum, alongside depictions of the city as it appeared in Piranesi’s lifetime. Piranesi developed a highly distinctive approach to rendering Rome’s ancient architecture and ruins. He deliberately adopted a low vantage point and manipulated the scale and mass of buildings, while rendering human figures within the scene at a diminutive proportion. This artistic device magnifies the monumental grandeur and solemn memorial character of the structures. During Piranesi’s era, a long-running debate divided architectural scholars: the dominant camp upheld the superiority of Greek antiquities over Roman ones. Piranesi aligned himself with the pro-Roman faction, and his prints served as powerful visual arguments advancing his stance. An Italian inscription runs along the lower margin of the plate: "Veduta degli' avanzi del sepolcro della famiglia Plauzia sulla via Tiburtina vicino al ponte Lugano due miglia lontano da Tivoli”. Its literal translation reads: "View of the remains of the tomb of the Plautii family on the Tiburtine Way, near the Lugano Bridge, two miles from Tivoli”. The ruins of the Tomb of the Plautii date back more than two thousand years. Commissioned at the time of Christ’s birth by Marcus Plautius Silvanus, a friend of the Emperor Augustus, the monument is a vast circular edifice built following Etruscan architectural traditions. It stands upon a square base, with its cylindrical tower rising to a height of 35 metres. Stone stelae at the tomb’s entrance record biographical details of the family members interred within. Pope Adrian IV chose this mausoleum as the venue for his meeting with Frederick Barbarossa. Michelangelo and Franz Liszt both passed the site while travelling to Tivoli, and numerous artists captured its once idyllic pastoral surroundings in their works. This impression bears two watermarks characteristic of Piranesi’s later editions: a dovecote motif and the mark "Dupuy Auvergne”. The paper originates from the Grand River Paper Mill in France’s Auvergne region, one of the most significant papermaking establishments in 17th and 18th-century France, owned at that time by Thomas Dupuy. The paper’s provenance confirms this impression is the fourth of seven distinct states, known as the First Paris Edition, produced between 1800 and 1809.
