Giovanni Battista Piranesi: Visions of Grandeur

Middlebury College Museum of Art presents 'Giovanni Battista Piranesi: Visions of Grandeur,' an exhibition showcasing the 18th-century Italian printmaker, architect, designer, and antiquities dealer. The show features prints, drawings, a book, a map, and a recently acquired sculpture drawn from Middlebury's collections, augmented by loans from the Yale University Art Gallery, the Pierpont Morgan Library and Museum, and private collections. Curated by architectural history professor Pieter Broucke, the exhibition includes label texts researched by Middlebury students in a January 2025 curatorial lab course.
