The Italian architect and engraver Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) was born in Venice. He started taking drawing lessons at an early age, and was primarily influenced by the work of architect Palladio. At the age of eighteen years old, he moved to Rome with an ardent desire to know the Eternal City and worked as draughtsman at the service of the Venetian embassy to the Vatican. In Rome, Piranesi studied engraving under Giuseppe Vasi, with whom he later clashed. An impulsive, ambitious and prolific artist, Piranesi worked in harmony with his time, as he was always drawn to and cultivated the dramatic, the inspired and the spectacular.
As with the work of French architect David Leroy (1724-1803), the technique and art of Piranesi's drawings aim to make an impact the viewer. A strong impression, which it is the artist's duty to convey, is deemed more important than precision in representation. Piranesi is among the most dynamic exponents of Neoclassicism; at the same time, he belongs to early Romanticism as well, as the remains of classical civilisations become the cause of poetic emotion.
Piranesi also visited Naples, where he depicted the local antiquities with passion and admiration, and created several copper moulds of his works. He returned to Venice in 1744, where he refined his engraving skills. It was there that he published his first major work “Carceri di invenzione” (“Fictitious prisons”, 1750, 1761 and 1780). The uncanny as well as evocative spaces of the prisons invented by Piranesi disturb the viewer and constitute a lasting influence on visual artists, writers and architects from his time to the present.
Later in his life, Piranesi returned to Rome, where he worked mainly as an engraver and painter and less as an architect. His “Monuments of Rome”, made a great impact on his contemporaries. In contrast to the contemporary intellectual atmosphere, and while scholars (such as Winkelmann, Ramsey, Stuart, Revett) direct their attention to Greece, which they see as the primary inspiration of Roman architecture, Piranesi sustained that the Etruscans, a people older than the Greeks, were the first to achieve aesthetic perfection. His ideas provoked a debate among European scholars, and opened new pathways to the study of ancient legacy.
The two thousand copper engravings drawn and etched by Piranesi in his lifetime were published posthumously in Paris by his sons, in a monumental edition (1835-1837).

İtalyan asıllı mimar ve gravürcü Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) Venedik yakınlarında doğar. İlk çizim derslerini çok genç yaşta alan Piranesi (okunuş: Piranezi) ünlü mimar Palladio'nun eserlerinden etkilenir. On sekiz yaşındayken Roma'yı tanımak arzusundan hareket ederek buradaki Venedik elçiliğinde çizer olarak iş bulur. Roma'da bulunduğu süre içinde, Piranesi, G. Vasi'nin yanında gravür sanatını öğrenir, ancak daha sonra Vasi ile arası açılır.
Duygularının esiri ve hırslı bir kişi olan Piranesi son derece üretken bir sanatçıydı. Yaşadığı dönemde egemen olan sanat anlayışıyla tam bir uyum içinde hareket ederek "görkemli", "çarpıcı", "dramatik" unsura karşı duyduğu hayranlığı eserlerinde yansıtır. Fransız asıllı mimar Le Roy'nın (1724-1803) sanat anlayışına benzer biçimde Piranesi için de bir eserin başlıca işlevi seyircide bıraktığı etkileyici izlenimdir; çizimin doğruluğu ise ona göre ikinci planda kalır. Piranesi neoklasik sanat akımının en dinamik temsilcileri arasındadır. Aynı zamanda romantik akımın erken dönemini de temsil eder. Romantik akımın erken dönemi, antik Yunan ve Roma kültürünün kalıntılarından esinlenen şiirsel duyarlıkla ilgilidir.
Piranesi Napoli'yi ziyaret etmiş; çizdiği birçok resmin bakır kalıbını yapmıştı. Tablolarında hayranlık ve coşkuyla Napoli yöresinin arkeolojik kalıntılarını kaydeder. 1744 yılında Venedik'e dönen Piranesi gravür sanatında yetkinleşir ve ilk önemli yapıtını yayınlar. "Carceri" ("Düşsel hapishaneler", okunuş: Karçeri) adını taşıyan eser 1750, 1761, 1780 yıllarında yayınlanır. Piranesi daha sonra yeniden Roma'da yaşayıp mimarlıktan çok gravür ve resimle uğraşıp eserler yaratır. Roma'nın arkeolojik anıtları hakkında olan eseri (1748-1774) yaşadığı devrin sanat dünyasını yoğun biçimde etkiler. Winkelmann, Ramsey, Stuart, Revett v.b. aydınların bütün dikkati Roma mimarîsinin öz kaynağı olarak klasik Yunan kültüründe odaklanırken, Piranesi, Etrüskler'in Yunanlılardan daha eski bir kültür olarak estetik yetkinliğin en yüksek mertebesine ilk ulaşanlar olduğunu savunur. Onun bu savları Avrupa yazarları arasında büyük tartışmalara yol açmış ve antik kültür mirasının incelenmesinde yeni yollar çizmişti. Piranesi'nin, yaşamı boyunca çizip yapımını tamamladığı 2.000 gravür, ölümünden sonra oğulları tarafından Paris'te görkemli bir baskı biçimiyle yayınlanır (1835-1837).

just letting a recent composition run really really big for a while. :) Loving being able to import 3d meshes now.
Doodling ideas of integration and building ideas from the ground up. This was also one of those days when making an exhaustive list in the journal seemed critical.
