Various lamps of bronze and terracotta, one of them representing a small Silenus seated on a Priapus 1769 - 1778

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, titled "Various lamps of bronze and terracotta, one of them representing a small Silenus seated on a Priapus," showcases Piranesi's masterful rendering of ancient Roman artifacts. Created between 1769 and 1778, the print depicts a collection of lamps and other objects, including a bull's head, a mask, and a small figure of Silenus, all meticulously detailed in the characteristic sharp lines of Piranesi's style. Piranesi's fascination with Roman antiquities is evident in this work, which captures the beauty and craftsmanship of these objects with both precision and artistic flair.
