GIOVANNI B. PIRANESI Veduta dell'Anfiteatro Flavio, detto il Colosseo.
Etching, 1757. 440x697 mm; 17 1/4x27 3/8 inches, wide margins. First state (of 4), with the address and price. Fleur-de-lys in a double circle watermark (Hind 3). From the Vedute di Roma. A superb, dark and richly-inked impression with very strong contrasts and no sign of wear.
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 57.
