GIOVANNI B. PIRANESI
Veduta del Ponte e Castello Sant'Angelo.

Etching, 1754. 383x595 mm; 15 1/4x23 1/2 inches, wide margins. Fourth state (of 6), with the price erased. From Vedute di Roma. A superb, richly-inked impression with strong contrasts and all the details distinct.

The Vedute di Roma is a series of 134 etchings of famous Roman buildings, ruins and monuments created by Piranesi (1720-1778) over nearly three decades (circa 1748-circa 1777), which stands as one of the most ambitious and successful printmaking productions of all time. Hind 29.
