EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Pier Chains Carceri d'invenzione Imaginary Prisons" by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Created between 1749 and 1750, this etching and engraving masterpiece is a true testament to Piranesi's artistic genius. The image depicts an intricate network of chains suspended from a pier, forming an otherworldly prison-like structure. The artist's use of sulphur tint, open bite technique, and burnishing adds depth and texture to the composition, creating a hauntingly beautiful visual experience. In its first state, this particular print captures every minute detail meticulously crafted by Piranesi. The sheet measures approximately 19 1/2 x 25 3/16 inches (495/64 cm), making it a substantial piece that demands attention. Giovanni Battista Piranesi was an Italian artist born in Mogliano Veneto in 1720. He gained fame for his architectural prints and engravings depicting ancient Roman ruins. His imaginative approach to capturing grand structures like prisons or cathedrals earned him international recognition as one of the most influential artists of his time. This print from the Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Piranesi's mastery firsthand without commercial implications. It serves as a reminder of the artist's profound impact on the world of art while inviting viewers into his surreal realm where reality intertwines with imagination.
