Description: Giovanni Battista Piranesi 18th-century (ca. 1767) etching "The so-called Temple of Bacchus, now the Church of S. Urban, interior (Veduta interna dell antico Tempio di Bacco, or. di S. Urbano)" from his famous Vedute di Roma series which depicted famous ancient Roman sites. Please excuse the glares and reflections from the glass as this is a framed and matted work, and it is ready to hang. This is a lifetime print that was matted with an archival acid-free mat in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (about 20 years ago) and the conservator who did this work signed the inside of the mat. To place this in a better context, please compare this the work, the price and the important Metropolitan Museum connection to other lifetime Piranesi prints (not posthumous or works “after” Piranesi) listed on eBay. Whether you are a collector of old master prints or just want to buy something special, or if you are an old master art dealer looking to profit from this transaction, this is a GREAT opportunity. A flat shipping rate is listed, but I’m also offering a free pick up if you like—I am in Queens. We can arrange that as soon as your payment has been received. Have a look at my other listings.
