Yerkes, Carolyn and Heather Hyde Minor. PIRANESI Unbound. 240 pages, including 193 color plates. 4to, cloth. Princeton, Princeton University Press, 2020. A draftsman, printmaker, architect, and archaeologist, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78) is best known today as the virtuoso etcher of the immersive and captivating Views of Rome and the darkly inventive Imaginary Prisons. Yet Carolyn Yerkes and Heather Hyde Minor argue that his single greatest art form-one that combined his obsessions most powerfully and that he pursued throughout his career-was the book. Piranesi Unbound provides a fundamental reinterpretation of Piranesi by recognizing him, first and foremost, as a writer, illustrator, printer, and publisher of books.

Zustand: Wie neu. 248 Seiten. Perfect copy. - Giovanni Battista Piranesi was one of the most important artists eighteenth-century Europe produced. But Piranesi was more than an artist; he was an engraver and printmaker, architect, antiquities dealer, archaeologist, draftsman, publisher, bookseller, and author. In Piranesi's Lost Words, Heather Hyde Minor considers Piranesi the author and publisher, focusing on his major publications from 1756 to his death in 1778. Piranesi designed and manufactured twelve beautiful, large-format books combining visual and verbal content over the course of his lifetime. While the images from these books have been widely studied, they are usually considered in isolation from the texts in which they originally appeared. This study reunites Piranesi's texts and images, interpreting them in conjunction as composite art. Minor shows how this composite art demonstrates Piranesi's gift for interpreting the classical world and its remainsand how his books offer a critique of both the Enlightenment project of creating an epistemology of the classical past and how eighteenth-century scholars explicated this past. Piranesi's books, Minor argues, were integral to the emergence of the modern discipline of art history. Using new, previously unpublished archival material, Piranesi's Lost Words refines our understanding of Piranesi's works and the eighteenth-century context in which they were created. / Contents: Chapter I: Reading Piranesi in the Twenty-First Century -- Chapter 2: Reading Piranesi in the Eighteenth Century -- Chapter 3: How Piranesi Made a Book out of Fragments of Ancient Texts and Buildings Chapter 4: How Piranesi Made a Book out of Fragments of Modern Texts and Images -- Chapter 5: How Piranesi Made a Book that Questions It All -- Chapter 6: How Piranesi's Words Got Lost -- Chapter 7: How Piranesi's Words Got Found.
