Vedvte di Roma

Vedute di Roma is a set of etched views of Rome published in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who issued it from his own address in the city for an audience of collectors and travellers. The prints show Roman ruins and streets as dramatic, crumbling architecture with figures and debris in the foreground, a model for atmospheric ruin scenes, heavy shadow, and layered perspective.
