Step into the grand, shadowy, and endlessly inventive world of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. In this episode, Ann and Tru explore the extraordinary life and legacy of the 18th-century master printmaker, architect, and polemicist whose sweeping etchings of Rome and terrifyingly surreal Carceri (Prisons) series continue to captivate the imagination. Join us as they examine Piranesi's Venetian roots, his fierce contributions to the Greco-Roman design debates, his enduring influence on figures like Goethe, and the vital artistic legacy of his daughter, Laura Piranesi, in this deep dive into the power of copper and ink.
