The Arch with the Shell Ornament, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, c. 1761, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings
Plate 11 from Carceri d'Invenzione If the Prisons recall The Phantom of the Opera, it is due to the sublime wonder that overwhelmed Piranesi as he explored the enormous sewers of ancient Rome and to the wonder that later stage designers experienced when exploring and mining Piranesi’s works. They found inspiration in the emotional content of his architecture, its three-dimensional effect, and its complex lighting arrangements. Size: 16 x 21 5/8 in. (40.64 x 54.93 cm) (plate) Medium: Etching

Pier table, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, c. 1768, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture
Neoclassical marble-top table; corresponds exactly to one of the engravings in Piranesi's volume of designs for furniture, I Cammini (1769) This is one of the few pieces of Giovanni Piranesi’s furniture to survive. The versatile Piranesi was a printmaker, archaeologist, architect, and designer. His numerous etchings of Roman ruins contributed greatly to 18th-century Europe’s interest in the ancient world. In 1769 he published Diverse Manners of Ornamenting Chimneys and All Other Parts of Houses, a collection of imaginative designs for clocks, vases, chimneypieces, and even coaches. This table is one of a pair made for the Roman state apartments of a nephew of Pope Clement XIII. Piranesi drew from several ancient designs. He modeled the legs—carved like winged chimeras (mythological monsters, part lion, part goat)—after bronze tripods found at the ruined cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The ox skulls are based on Roman funerary motifs. Size: 35 1/2 x 59 x 29 1/4 in. (90.17 x 149.86 x 74.3 cm) Medium: Oak, limewood, marble, gilt
