Trained as an architect and draftsman, Piranesi applied these skills to producing studies of Roman ruins that were popular sites among tourists. His most famous series was the Vedute di Roma - Views of Rome.

The glass needs cleaning. If I were to keep it, I would change the mat and framing. The dust cover in the back is torn. This is the original frame, mat, and glass from when it was purchased in 1960, so there is some age. The etching is not torn, but has age, as would be expected considering it was printed in 1756. less
