EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning chimneypiece in Egyptian style, with a unique twist. Superimposed on this architectural masterpiece is an intriguing mummy figure, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. The large caryatid serves as a prominent feature against which the mummy is placed, creating a striking contrast between ancient Egyptian symbolism and classical architecture. The lintel above further enhances this fusion of styles, adorned with intricate appliques that reflect diverse ways of ornamenting chimneypieces. Dating back to 1769, this etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi captures his mastery in capturing the essence of various architectural elements. Piranesi was renowned for his best capricious and ruinous landscape compositions, making him one of the most influential figures in both theoretic and artistic life during his time. His work not only shaped interior design but also formed an important part of architectural discourse. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to seamlessly blend different styles into harmonious compositions. Measuring at 21 9/16 x 15 3/8 inches (54.8 x 39 cm), this print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously captured by Piranesi's skilled hand. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic brilliance that continues to inspire us today.
