Full reproduction of Carceri: 30 etchings depict rickety catwalks, iron rings, faceless humans, innumerable staircases, immense vaults, projecting beams, pulleys, wooden ladders, hanging ropes and chains, iron rings imbedded in walls, faceless humans and more. All create a system of visual frustration beyond ordinary perception and understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A marvelous array of etchings - simply astounding.,
By Tim Vawter (castles@webfiles.net) (New Jersey, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Prisons (Le Carceri : the Complete First and Second States) (Paperback)
A wonderful picture book showing all of Piranesi's Le Carceri (the prisons) prints in the first and second states. The second state etchings are always darker and more improved than those of the first state. The printing is very high quality. It even includes a little biography on Piranesi and his work. This is a large soft cover book perfect for students and artists alike. Tim
