Statue of Vesta, or Mother Earth situated in the Villa Este in Tivoli 

This detailed print of the Temple of Sibyl in Tivoli was etched by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in the 18th century, using a combination of etching and engraving techniques. The Temple is presented through clean lines and careful shading to depict its architectural form. Piranesi divides the composition into two distinct views: the frontal view on top emphasizing the temple's facade with its structured arrangement of columns and pediment. The elevation below provides a side view. The structural components are further annotated with precise measurements. This almost scientific rendering adds to the artwork's function as both an aesthetic object and a piece of architectural documentation. Piranesi's strategic arrangement of elements and the interplay of light and shadow serve not only to represent the building but also to evoke a sense of its enduring presence and historical context. The temple is thus a convergence of structural clarity and imaginative representation.
