Join our Morgan docents as they guide you on an up-close virtual exploration and discussion of several works in the Morgan’s temporary exhibition of the multi-talented artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi who became internationally famous working as a printmaker, designer, architect, archaeologist, theorist, dealer, and polemicist. The Morgan holds the largest and most important collection of Piranesi’s drawings. Please join our Zoom for a look at this fascinating impresario of 18th-century art.
Please note that the program will take place online. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to participate using Zoom. We ask that you download the app in advance for the best user experience.
