About the original

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) etched the Vedute di Roma, views of the monuments and ruins of Rome, from the late 1740s until his death, and sold them to visitors on the Grand Tour. His strong contrasts of light and shade, vast buildings and tiny figures shaped how Europe imagined the city.

Some travellers were said to be disappointed that Rome did not look like his prints. The series also includes a plate by his son Francesco and a map of the city.
