Vedute di Roma 

Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his dramatic etchings of Roman architecture, created this detailed view of the "Veduta del Porto di Ripetta" (View of the Port of Ripetta). The artwork captures the bustling activity of the port with numerous boats, and the architectural grandeur of Rome in the background, a signature subject of Piranesi's work. His use of chiaroscuro, dramatic contrast between light and dark, enhances the monumental scale of the buildings and creates an atmospheric depth to the scene.
