"Gemini and Virgo" is an etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his architectural engravings. The image depicts the astrological signs of Gemini and Virgo, with a male and female figure representing each sign. The figures stand on clouds and are rendered in a classical style, reflecting Piranesi's interest in ancient Roman architecture and mythology. This print, a testament to his versatility, highlights Piranesi's keen eye for detail and mastery of line, which he utilized to create a sense of grandeur and depth.
