PIRANESI, Giovanni Battista (1720-1788)
[Plate of an neo-Classical fireplace, from "Diverse maniere d'adornare i cammini ed ogni altra parte degli edifizi". [33]
[33]. {Rome]: [mid 1770s-1790]. Etched plate, on laid paper, by Piranesi. In good condition with large margins. Watermarked. Sheet size: 15 x 20 7/8 inches.
A fine example of Priranesi's work on a more domestic scale. Fifty-six of the sixty-nine plates in Piranesi's Diverse maniere d'adornare i cammini ed ogni altra parte degli edifizi... are devoted to fire-place designs, with Piranesi drawing inspiration from Greek, Etruscan and Egyptian architecture.
