Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) - Vaso, from the series Vasi Candelabri Cippi Sarcofagi
Good impression on laid paper.
Part of a group of 4 plates issued as individual plates from 1768, first appearing in bound form in 1778 as 'Vasi Candelabri Cippi Sarcofagi', probably compiled by Francesco Piranesi following his father's death.
The "Vasi" is one of the most important of his works related to his own interests as a restorer and dealer in antiquities, and which had a great influence on interior decoration, and industrial production of ceramics, etc. This was an aspect of Piranesi's work on which he relied more extensively after the death of his major patron, Clement XIII Rezzonico.
Condition is good. Some foxing. Centrefold. Small holes on upper edge from original binding. Yellowing paper. Some surface dirt.
