![]() ![]() In 1748–1774 he created a long series of vedute of the city which established his fame. He then returned to Rome, where he opened a workshop in Via del Corso.

According to Legrand, Vasi told Piranesi that “you are too much of a painter, my friend, to be an engraver.” After his studies with Vasi, he collaborated with pupils of the French Academy in Rome to produce a series of vedute (views) of the city his first work was Prima parte di Architettura e Prospettive (1743), followed in 1745 by Varie Vedute di Roma Antica e Moderna. Giuseppe Vasi found Piranesi’s talent was beyond engraving. He resided in the Palazzo Venezia and studied under Giuseppe Vasi, who introduced him to the art of etching and engraving of the city and its monuments. From 1740, he had an opportunity to work in Rome as a draughtsman for Marco Foscarini, the Venetian ambassador of the new Pope Benedict XIV. His brother Andrea introduced him to Latin language and the ancient civilization, and later he was apprenticed under his uncle, Matteo Lucchesi, who was a leading architect in Magistrato delle Acque, the state organization responsible for engineering and restoring historical buildings. Piranesi was born in Mogliano Veneto, near Treviso, then part of the Republic of Venice. He was the father of Francesco Piranesi and Laura Piranesi.

The integration of ancient sculptural fragments into his restored objects allowed for flights of fancy that were very influential on younger architects such as Percier and Fontaine, who made there mark as architects for Napoleon. Many of the plates illustrate objects made of ancient Roman marbles that could be inspected at his Museo in the Palazzo Tomati where his engraving business and his home were both located. This was an aspect of Piranesi’s work on which he relied more extensively after the death of his major patron, Clement XIII Rezzonico.
