GIOVANNI B. PIRANESI Veduta della Piazza del Popolo.
Etching, 1750. 403x542 mm; 16x21 1/2 inches, wide margins. Third state (of 7), with the address and price. Fleur-de-lys in a double-circle watermark (similar to Robison 30-34, which he dates from the 1750s and 1760s). From Vedute di Roma. A very good, dark and richly-inked impression with strong contrasts.
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 endeavors of all time. Hind 14.
