This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, dating from 1769-1778, depicts a perspective view of a candelabra. It showcases Piranesi's mastery in architectural and decorative details. Piranesi, famed for his architectural etchings of ancient Rome, turned his artistic eye to the intricate designs of a candelabra, capturing its intricate details with meticulous precision. The work is a fine example of Piranesi's ability to convey both the grandeur and the delicate beauty of the objects he depicted. This etching, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offers a glimpse into the refined tastes of the 18th century.
