    Piranesi's Candelabra and the Presence of the Past

    Caroline van Eck

    221 pages

    This volume explores the creation and reception of Piranesi's three colossal neoclassical candelabra. Caroline Van Eck's study explores the intense interest taken by producers and consumers of art objects in objects that made the classical live again in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

    A book that leaves a lasting impression, though revealing more would spoil the experience.
