    Before I Die

  • Remains of the Neronian Aqueducts

    Piranesi: Extraordinary Fellow, Madman, Sublime Dreamer, Inventive Genius

    Giovanni Battista Piranesi was an artist like no other. Working as an architect, printmaker, polemicist, archaeologist, interior designer, and art dealer, he created works that even today define our notions of Ancient and Modern Rome, and which helped establish a taste for Neoclassical design that spread across Europe. His powers of invention were prodigious, and his influence enormous—maddeningly so for some of his contemporaries. This lecture will survey Piranesi’s fantastic inventions, exploring the process of their creation and their lasting legacy.
