Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist known for his etchings of ancient Roman architecture, created this plan of a house in Pompeii called the “House of the Surgeon” in the mid-18th century. The detailed plan is a combination of architectural and archaeological perspectives, showcasing the layout of the house and its surrounding neighborhood. Piranesi’s work offers insight into the domestic lives of the ancient Pompeians and provides a visual record of the city's architecture and urban planning. His drawings, often characterized by their precise details and dramatic perspectives, remain influential within the fields of archaeology, architecture, and art history.
