Giovanni Battista Piranesi's "Landschap met bouwwerken in de Albaanse Heuvels" is an etching from 1762 depicting a landscape with an ancient ruin. The etching features an arched structure overgrown with foliage, likely inspired by Piranesi's fascination with Roman ruins and architecture. This piece, now held at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Piranesi's mastery of perspective and detailed rendering, drawing viewers into the fantastical world of his imagined Roman landscapes.
