Description
Prisoners on a projecting platform (1755) by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (4 October 1720 - 9 November 1778), FINE ART PRINT, high quality digitally restored reproduction of the famous antique watercolor & gouache drawing / painting. Giovanni Battista (or Giambattista) Piranesi was an Italian Classical archaeologist, architect, & artist, famous for his etchings of Rome & of fictitious & atmospheric "prisons" (Le Carceri d'Invenzione). The images influenced Romanticism & Surrealism. While the Vedutisti (or "view makers"), such as Canaletto & Bellotto, more often reveled in the beauty of the sunlit place, in Piranesi this vision takes on what from a modern perspective could be called a Kafkaesque distortion, seemingly erecting fantastic labyrinthine structures, epic in volume. They are capricci, whimsical aggregates of monumental architecture & ruin. All fine art prints produced on large wide-format printer, using archival pigment inks, providing the vibrant colors & ultimate image quality. Materials: acid free heavyweight fine art paper, archival pigment inks.
