About this product
Product Information
Inspired by the extraordinary engravings of the ruins of Ancient Rome by Giambattista Piranesi, Langenbach uses modern-day digital photography to document the same views that Piranesi captured over a quarter of a millennium ago, displaying some of the most iconic ruins of an ancient civilization on the planet.

Ruins Eternal, both the short film, and now the coming book were begun under a Rome Prize Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome in 2003. SELLING POINTS: The book will be designed so that it can be used, not only by scholars, but also by tourists and travellers in Rome Guides readers on a modern-day version of the 18th Century Grand Tour that was originally inspired to a great extent by Piranesi's extraordinary art Publishes photographic views that have previously not been possible 100 colour images

Reviews
"The author takes prints and paintings created by Piranesi and other artists and overlays the exact scene in present day. So it is striking, for example, to note how an artwork created in the 18th Century is markedly different but still the same iconic landmarks are the same. " --Tripfiction.com

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
