This architectural plan, created by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, showcases a detailed cross-section of a two-story house. Piranesi, known for his masterful etchings and his fascination with Roman architecture, employs a combination of linework and shading to illustrate the complex structure of the building, highlighting its subterranean levels, vaulted ceilings, and supporting pillars. The plan exemplifies Piranesi's skillful use of perspective and his contribution to the neoclassical movement in architectural design.
