Curators Meredith Fluke and Kimberly Cassibry discuss Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s Roman Vedute in the context of 18th-century travel and print culture, as well as within the prevalent approaches to antiquity found in the circles of philosophers, antiquarians, philologists, archaeologists, and architects that Piranesi inhabited.
