Imaginary prisons prints8/6/2023 From some research of the titles: Plates in order of photographs (last photo of each being the back of the frame): The Drawbridge The Lion Bas Reliefs Title Plate The Pier with chains Prisoners on a projecting platform The Grand Piazza Giovanni Battista Piranesi Imaginary Prisons Throughout his career, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) produced carefully prepared views in and around Rome.

The stickers on the back of each would most probably be by the framer. Please ignore some darker reflections on the glass when taking the photos. We are selling as a set as to break the set does not seem right. This set arrived recently from France with approx 70 other paintings and prints acquired from the estate of a collector near Paris.
