GIOVANNI B. PIRANESI Veduta di Piazza Novona sopra le Rovine del Circo Agonale.
Etching, 1773. 473x708 mm; 18 3/4x28 inches, wide margins. First state (of 4). From Vedute di Roma. A brilliant, richly-inked impression of this large, important etching, with very strong contrasts, with all the details distinct and with no sign of wear.
This view of the Piazza Novona looking north toward Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Four Rivers Fountain, 1651, in the center, and the façade of the Church of Saint Agnese, designed by Francesco Barromini, 1652, at the left, is among the most popular of Piranesi's views of Rome. Hind 108.
