Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) was an Italian artist, architect, and engraver who is best known for his intricate etchings of Rome and ancient Roman ruins. He was born in Venice and initially trained as an architect under his uncle, but he became more interested in the art of engraving and began to produce highly-detailed etchings of Roman architecture and monuments.

Piranesi's most famous works are the series of prints known as "Le Vedute di Roma" ("Views of Rome"), which depict the city's ancient ruins and monuments in stunning detail and with a great sense of drama. He also produced a series of prints called "Carceri d'Invenzione" ("Imaginary Prisons"), which depict fantastical, labyrinthine prisons with twisting staircases and other surreal features.

Piranesi's work was highly influential in the development of the Romantic movement and the Gothic Revival, and his vivid depictions of ancient Rome continue to be admired and studied by art historians and architects to this day.
