The old, once powerful, Rome was enriched in that period with baroque facades of basilicas, palaces and urban exuberance such as the Spanish Steps and the Trevi fountain.<\/p>\n<p>Piranesi is best known for his views of Rome which are portrayed in his series <em>Vedute di Roma<\/em> that he began in 1748 and continued to work on for the remainder of his life. Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who had been taught the art of etching by Giuseppe Vasi, transformed the conventional views as practiced by his master and altered them into his own view of heroic antiquity. Having been trained as an architect and as a result of his interest in archaeology he was in a unique position to portray Roman classicism to his contemporaries.<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cVeduta della vasta Fontana di Trevi anticamente della l\u2019Acqua Vergine&#8221; [View of the great Trevi fountain, in ancient times place of the Acqua Vergine aqueduct].
