An exhibition titled "Vernet meets Piranesi" opens on May 14, 2026, at Antonacci Lapiccirella Fine Art in Rome, featuring a photographic project by New York-based artist Marshall Vernet. The show presents a dialogue between Vernet's photographs and the Vedute of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, the 18th-century Italian etcher known for his architectural views.
This exhibition matters because it bridges contemporary photography with historical printmaking, offering a fresh visual conversation between two artists separated by centuries. It highlights how modern artists reinterpret classical works, and positions Marshall Vernet within the ongoing tradition of artists engaging with Rome's architectural heritage.
