Piranesi in Madrid CaixaForum
Caixaforum Madrid hosts an exhibition on one of the most important illustrators of S. XVIII.
Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) was one of the most important artists of the eighteenth century. The technique, intensity, and the evocative power of his works have influenced subsequent Romantic artists, Surrealists and Cubists. His engravings of Venetian prisons inspire, even today, film sets.
