This cross-sectional etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian architect and artist, depicts the ruins of a Roman house in the ancient city of Pompeii. The "View of Corinthian Cavedio" showcases the interior of the building, including its intricate construction and unique design. Piranesi's meticulous attention to detail and dramatic use of perspective is characteristic of his work, which played a significant role in reviving interest in classical architecture during the 18th century. His work, known for its graphic and realistic style, is a valuable historical resource for understanding Roman architecture and city planning.
