EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Piranesi's masterpiece, "Sawhorse Carceri d'invenzione Imaginary Prisons". Created between 1749 and 1750, this etching and engraving is a true testament to the artist's unparalleled talent. With its intricate details and surrealistic elements, it transports viewers into a world of imagination. Measuring approximately 19 7/16 x 25 1/16 inches (49.4 x 63.6 cm), this print captures every nuance of Piranesi's vision. The use of sulphur tint, open bite technique, and scratching adds depth to the artwork, making it come alive before our eyes. Piranesi was an Italian artist hailing from Mogliano Veneto but based in Rome during the mid-18th century. His unique style blended architectural precision with fantastical elements, as seen in these imaginary prisons. Each structure within the composition appears both grandiose and confining simultaneously – a paradox that sparks curiosity within us. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a labyrinthine world where reality merges with fantasy. The sawhorses scattered throughout add an eerie touch to the overall atmosphere while inviting us to explore further. The Liszt Collection has beautifully reproduced this iconic artwork for all art enthusiasts to enjoy. Whether displayed in homes or galleries worldwide, this print serves as a reminder of Piranesi's genius and his ability to captivate audiences
