EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two ancient Roman cups or tazza owned by the renowned artist Piranesi. Created in 1802, this engraving by Lorenzo Roccheggiani offers a glimpse into the exquisite craftsmanship of these historical artifacts. The first cup features intricate engravings of geese and rams heads, transported all the way to Olan. The second cup depicts sphinxes that were discovered in fragments in Tivoli and meticulously restored to their former glory. Both cups exude an air of antiquity and are adorned with ornate decorations that speak to the opulence of ancient Roman culture. Copperplate engraver Pietro Ruga skillfully brought Roccheggiani's illustration to life, capturing every delicate detail with precision.

This print is a valuable addition for collectors who appreciate both artistry and historical significance. It invites viewers into a world where beauty meets antiquity—a true treasure for any interior design enthusiast or lover of classical art.
