Captured Genius. Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Exhibition on the 300th Anniversary of His Birth
September 28th, 2020 – January 5th, 2021
The Former Deputies' Chamber
At the exhibition we are presenting prints from the series Carceri (Prisons) by G.B. Piranesi (1720–1778), which originate from a second edition containing sixteen prints. The series depicts a fantastical vision of prisons and is considered to be the artist’s most interesting creative work. Analysed many times over the years, it has brought to light Piranesi’s technical skill as an artist and printmaker, a builder of multidimensional architectural and scenographic compositions, as well as an insightful observer of antiquity, who was able to weave elements of Roman artefacts into the composition of his Carceri. However, above all, the Carceri series is one of the most mysterious works in the history of printmaking, and contains many interpretative threads relating to metaphysics, philosophy and literature.
