He was a businessman who outperformed the competition by the sheer numbers of plates he produced and by reworking a single plate several times to create new versions of it quickly and cheaply. 33 Piranesi used unique strategies to set taste and control the vedute market. 32 Piranesi catered to and engaged with antiquarians and archaeologists, European and American audiences, members of the Republic of Letters, Grand Tourists, royalty, and fellow artists and architects. In 1769 Piranesi found a ready market for his vedute among the host of foreign clients in Rome. The emotional experience Piranesi created within his vedute was unique it allowed tourists to take back not only a remembrance of what an ancient monument looked like, but the feeling they had when seeing the structure for the first time.Īs a leading vedutista in Rome with a growing clientele of foreign patrons, Piranesi set up his own printmaking business in Palazzo Tomati in 1760. Peter’s Basilica, Piranesi has purposely misrepresented scale and proportion in order to replicate the intense emotional experience of what is would be like to view the Basilica in person. 31 In the view of the Theatre of Marcellus, the etched clouds appears painterly and smooth, not like traditional engraving, and in the view of St. There is evidence in Piranesi’s views of a far freer approach towards the medium of etching than in the work of his competitors. Emotional experience was a new consideration for artists in the 18th century. This approach combined the anatomically correct view of a monument with the dramatic impact and emotional experience the view had on the spectator. When Piranesi first began etching views as a means of financial support in the early 1740s, there were already signs in his earliest plates of a new approach to capturing Roman architecture. 30 A common means of livelihood for an architect in Rome was the production of these views, or vedute, as they generated good income, serving as souvenirs for the Grand Tourists. Piranesi brought to Rome the painterly techniques of Venetian landscape painting he had learned as a young man. Piranesi started his career in Rome with the traditional, local trade of view making, or vedutismo.
