Description
4to, hardcover pp.224. In a letter written near the end of his life, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720ñ78) explained that he left his native Venice because no patrons were willing to support ìthe sublimity of [his] ideas.î Residing in Rome, he became internationally famous as a printmaker and designer, among other numerous pursuits. While Piranesiís notoriety stems from his etchings, he was also an accomplished draftsman who first developed much of his work in drawings. Sublime Ideas is the most comprehensive, updated study of Piranesiís drawings with over two hundred illustrations offering insight into his life and creative endeavors. Coinciding with the Morganís Spring 2023 exhibition, Sublime Ideas diligently surveys the artistís enduring work as an artistic force.
