This is a black and white etching of a temple by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist, etcher, and architect, best known for his depictions of Roman ruins. This particular etching is part of Piranesi's "Antichita Romane" series, which was dedicated to documenting the ruins of Ancient Rome. The etching shows two views of a temple, one from the front and one from a side view. The drawing is detailed and meticulously rendered, highlighting the architecture of the ancient temple in the detail of its columns and brick work. Piranesi's etchings were highly influential on other artists and architects who admired his ability to capture the grandeur and power of classical Roman architecture.
