About the Item

Giovanni Battista Piranesi's 18th century etching entitled "Veduta del Tempio detto della Concordia", which is a view of the so-called Temple of Concord (The Temple of Saturn) with the Arch of Septimius Severus in the right foreground. It was included in Piranesi's monumental work "Vedute di Roma" (Views of Rome), published in Rome in 1774. It is held by many museums, including: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The British Museum, The Uffizi Museum, The Chicago Art Institute, The Museum of Art at Yale and The Museum of Fine Arts Boston. References: Wilton-Ely 242, Focillon 829, Hind 109 I/III. The etching is presented in a black and gold colored wood frame with a tan French mat. The frame measures 27.5" x 37" x .88". There are small focal areas of discoloration in the periphery of the sheet margins, which does not extend within the plate lines and does not affect the image. There are three spots in the upper left corner of the image and there is toning and discoloration of the mat. 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.
