Piranesi’s People: Quirinal Palace Square

Veduta della Piazza di Monte Cavallo (View of the Quirinal Palace Square) Dr Colin Holden, Exhibition curator of Rome: Piranesi’s vision, suggests that the figures Piranesi includes in this print represent the comparison between classical Roman and the artist’s 18th-century worlds. ’Piranesi’s People’ is a series of 10 short videos that bring to life the detail in unforgettable images of classical and baroque Rome by 18th-century master-printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
