Drawings by Piranesi Back to top
Giovanni Battista Piranesi, (1720 - 1778), Paestum (Italy), Basilica: view of interior from the East, c.1777-78
The great draughtsman Giovanni Battista Piranesi was keenly interested in the architecture of the ancient world. Sir John Soane met him in person in 1778 during his Grand Tour, a meeting that would greatly influence Soane’s later work and his fascination with ruins and fragments. The Picture Room contains a number of Piranesi works, some given to Soane by the artist. On the South wall as you enter, a group of ink and wash drawings depict the temples of Paestum in southern Italy, one of Soane’s favourite classical sites. These works are now replaced with facsimiles: read below to find out more.
