While many studies are concerned with Piranesi's activities as a printmaker, this beautifully illustrated book examines new dimensions of his art by focusing on his drawings. Curator and author Sarah Vowles establishes a clear relationship between his drawings and prints, discusses the involvement of studio hands in his late works, and examines how his style as a draftsman evolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePiranesi Drawings\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the quality and lasting impact of the pen and chalk studies by a remarkably talented draftsman, as demonstrated by the superb collection at the British Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500480618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 9.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Sarah Vowles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638008279196,"sku":"9780500480618","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_db0dd2e6-611f-4eae-aeae-a5c02bbe89db.jpg?v=1603846229","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/piranesi-drawings-9780500480618","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
