Extending over nearly sixty years, Frank Lloyd Wright'southward San Francisco Bay Expanse works are distinctive for their diverseness and the unprecedented creativity of many of them.

Piranesi and Architectural Magnificenza

Lecture by John Pinto, Howard Crosby Butler Memorial Professor of Art and Archaeology Emeritus at Princeton Academy

March 29th, 2017
6:30-nine:00 pm

Classics Reading Room, Avery Library

Piranesi famously remarked, "speaking ruins have filled my spirit with images," leading his posthumous biographer, Giovanni Ludovico Bianconi, to characterize him as the "Rembrandt of ruins." Indeed, the alchemy of Piranesi'due south carving needle gave voice to mute stones, with the result that the ruins took on a new function in the class of speaking architecture. Among the many challenges he faced was the need to convey the spatial complexity and imposing grandeur of the ruins within the restricted format of two dimensional plates. Many of his prints get beyond the mere documentation of bitty architecture to present sophisticated assay and polemic in visual terms. Join us to view select materials from Avery Library' globe-form drove of Piranesi prints and to examine the strategies employed past Piranesi to limited what he termed the "magnificenza" of Roman architecture.
