Wonderful site, showing a huge selection of his etchings in high resolution. A MUST for the fan

Hey, that is excellent! Thanks! I love those etchings. I fell in love with his work when I bought a massive set of Gibbon that used Piranesi throughout.
Once upon a time I posted a link to another site with all his work, but from what I remember it wasn't as easy to use as this one.
If anyone wants a good Roman-themed wallpaper for a computer, here would be a good place to find something.
Indeed very interesting. Thanks for posting. Now I only have to make sure I'll do something for my study today instead of browsing through that site
Maybe this interesting as well: Piranesis are not very expensive. I have often dreamed of collecting art; now paintings and sculpture or ancient art are almost impossible to pay, but seventeenth- and eighteenth-century prints are both elegant and affordable. I bought
this one for 300,000 lire, which would now be 175 euro (adjusted for inflation). So if you are looking for a tasteful present for an art-loving friend who will recognize the artist, a present that is at the same time affordable, here's your chance.
