One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his terrifyingly original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. This title deals with his work.
Giovanni B. Piranesi (1720 -1778) moldou toda uma estirpe da arquitectura contemporânea e influenciou escritores como Borges e Kafka.
