Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778)George Davison collected a group of 33 albums in which were inserted about 1,000 Piranesi prints (not fully catalogd), the nearly complete etchings of this master of Roman views and subjects of classical antiquity. Now in the DAC Collection, this group includes a set of Piranesi's most famous works, the Carceri or imaginary prisons. This information was accurate as of 1997, but since then it has been integrated into the DAC's illustrated collections pages. The museum keeps this legacy page online for the convenience of those who may have bookmarked it or who find it via a link from another site or a search engine, but we recommend that most users consult our current collections pages.
