Abstract
Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is an important Italian architect withhis seminal theses in the debates on the ‘origins of architecture’ and ‘aesthetics’. Heis numbered foremost among the founders of modern archaeology. But Piranesiwas misinterpreted both in his day and posthumously. One of the most importantvectors of approach yielding misinterpretation of Piranesi derived from the phe-nomenon comprising the early nineteenth-century Romanticist reception of Pi-ranesi’s character and work. Therefore the present study firstly demonstrates thatsuch observations derive not from an investigation of the work itself nor from anappraisal of the historical context but owe to the long-standing view in westernculture that identifies the creator’s ethos with the work and interprets the workso as to cohere with that pre-constructed ethos. Thus the paper aims at offering anew perspective to be adopted while examining Piranesi’s works. This perspectivelies within the very scope of understanding the reasons of the misinterpretations the post-Romanticist perception of the ‘artist’ and Piranesi’s main arguments onthe aesthetics origins of architecture and law.
