On this site we are delighted to be able to offer for sale a large selection of original etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78), genius of the topographical etching, was born in Venice and trained as an architect and engineer. His work has had, and continues to have, a profound influence on architects, writers and artists worldwide.

Piranesi's etchings are greatly sought-after today. The technical mastery of his chosen medium was second to none. He developed techniques of etching using a complicated system of repetitive bitings of the copper plates, resulting in dramatically rich textures and very bold contrasts of light and dark, which made the work of contemporaries look rather insipid in comparison.

We are a working gallery, please click here for more about us, and are more than happy to discuss any purchase or questions over the telephone or email.
