Large Piranesi Vase print. Side view, hand-coloured moss tones.

by Piranesi, Giovanni Battista/Francesco

Side View. Piranesi Large Vase, or Piranesi Urn - green moss-coloured by hand.

Reproduction print of a rare etching on copperplate, from the workshop of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and son. Originally published in Rome between 1773 and 1777 for Piranesi's Vasi, Candelabri, Cippi y Sarcofagi... Piranesi was the finest etcher of his time. The three dimensional impression and depth of definition of his etching is fantastic.

This grand vase is also available hand-coloured in rust tones, - or uncoloured (as printed).
Size: 65 x 45cm (25.5 x 17.75 inches).
