How did I know it was the Jacob Geller video before I even clicked the link lol
those are gorgeous - are there etching print versions too? will have to click through when I've a moment
yes!! apparently he made two versions of the series, a reworked etching version in 1761. the princeton art museum has a collection: https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/object-package/giovanni-battista-piranesi-imaginary-prisons/3640
but wikipedia also has them lined up next to the older versions for comparison, which is nice! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carceri_d%27invenzione
oh fantastic, thank you! I was questioning my memory as I remember seeing them when doing print making, so I'd associated the two. Seeing the versions side by side is really interesting!
