EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Piranesi's masterpiece, "Prisoners Projecting Platform Carceri d'invenzione". Created between 1749 and 1750, this etching and engraving is a testament to Piranesi's unparalleled talent. The use of sulphur tint, open bite, and burnishing techniques in the first state of this artwork adds depth and texture to the composition. Piranesi, an Italian artist born in Mogliano Veneto in 1720, later settled in Rome where he produced his most renowned works. His rough yet bold etchings became his signature style. In "Carceri". Piranesi achieved a remarkable immediacy that feels like a drawn sketch from a low viewpoint. The small size of the figures within these invented spaces emphasizes their immensity compared to real prisons. Based on stage prisons rather than actual ones, Piranesi's imagination runs wild as he constructs intricate architectural structures that seem both awe-inspiring and claustrophobic simultaneously. This particular print captures every minute detail with precision while preserving the essence of the original artwork. It allows viewers to appreciate Piranesi's genius up close without commercial intentions overshadowing its artistic value. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by historical masterpieces, this print serves as a window into Giovanni Battista Piranesi's extraordinary world of imaginary prisons – an exploration that will leave you mesmerized by his exceptional craftsmanship.
