@ignatius_sancho I’d like to invite you to the Univ of South Carolina in Columbia to talk about your beautiful book. (I’m Jeannie Britton, rare books curator, not GB Piranesi) We’re planning an exhibit on Sancho for 2024 w/performances of his music and, I hope, a visit from you. Could we email?

@JenniferAAshby Jack Stillinger’s Coleridge and Textual Instability is exactly this (and excellent)

Happy Halloween from Piranesi’s Roman Antiquities, plus some silly effects. @uofsclibraries @uofscdigcoll @UofSCRareBooks #halloween #piranesi

Anna Swartwood House describes the painting’s historical contexts and resonance today, and she gives a shout-out to Piranesi’s own reimaginings of ancient ruins and Roman views. Many thanks to her and the CMA for this link, and to the Kress Foundation for the art!

Imaginary Landscape with Roman Ruins, Giovanni Paolo Panini, on view at the Columbia Museum of Art’s fabulous exhibition of treasures from the Kress Collection ... @KressFdn @ColaMuseum @UofSClibraries @UofSCRareBooks @uofscdigcoll

@semajrabnud Ah, yes … thanks for looking closer! Still not totally clear what he means, but … closer!

[The Digital Piranesi @piranesiusc]

A question for architectural historians: what’s D, “Catene” (in English) here? Not “chains,” surely, but … metal beams? This is Piranesi’s cross-section of the Mausoleum of Augustus from Roman Antiquities.
