About the Item
Group of Caryatids with the dedication to Henry Hope
Artist proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, wide margins, representing a “group of caryatids” found in Vigna Strozzi", Rome. Beautiful Etching with good contrasts and sharp details. Previous edition than the one shown in Ficacci’s catalogue with a dedication to Henry Hope. Very good condition, lightly worn paper, normal folds, right margin lightly damaged and little holes in left margin due to the binding of the volume “Vases and Candelabras”.
Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Undoubtedly Piranesi was one of the most important engravers in 18th century even if he was well-known as an architect and an archaeologist: the greatest engraver in the period from Rembrandt a Goya. The generations after him have continued to imagine the Ancient Rome as the artist has portrayed his magnificent in "Vedute".

Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Piranesi was born in Venice in 1720 and died in Rome in 1778. He was the son of a stone mason and was trained as an architect. After a slow start he eventually achieved great success as an architect, archaeologist, artist, designer, collector, and antiquities dealer. His mission was to glorify the architecture of ancient Rome through his engravings and etchings. His highly dramatized prints often depict imaginary interiors and frequently include figures in mysterious activities, who are dwarfed by the magnitude of their monumental surroundings. Piranesi's style greatly influenced the neoclassical art movement of the late 18th century. His dramatic scenes inspired generations of set designers, as well as artists, architects and writers. His prints have continued to increase in value to institutions and collectors.
