PIRANESI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 638 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIRANESI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA , Italian engraver of ancient architectural subjects, was born in the earlier half of the 18th
century
 , and studied his art at Rome. The
great
  remains of that city kindled his
enthusiasm
  and demanded portrayal. His hand faithfully imitated the actual remains of a fabric; his invention, catching the
design
  of the
original
  architect, supplied the parts that were wanting; his skill introduced groups of vases, altars, tombs; and his broad and scientific distribution of light and shade completed the picture, and threw a striking effect over the whole. One engraving after another was executed with much brilliancy; and, as the
work
  went on, the zeal of the artist only waxed stronger. In course of time it was found necessary to
call
  in the aid of all his children and of several pupils. He did not, in fact, slacken in his exertions till his death in 1778.
The plates of Piranesi, in which the severity of burin
work
  is largely supplemented by the freer lines of the
etching
 -needle, were collected and preserved by his son and coadjutor
Francesco
 . They were published, to the number of about 2000, in 29 vols. fol. (Paris, 1835-1837).
