From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Though trained as an architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi's greatest monuments appeared on paper. With exceptional theatrical flair, he glorified Rome's accomplishments, both ancient and modern. Here he employs a bird's-eye view to convey the grandeur and splendor of Saint Peter's Basilica and Bernini's colonnade. Italy, Europe
