Trained as an architect in his native Venice, Giovanni Battista Piranesi went to Rome in 1740 and became a prolific printmaker. A lifelong champion of Rome, he was an enthusiastic polemicist in the eighteenth-century debate as to whether Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome was the more significant source of Western civilization. These magnificent unframed reproduction prints of the Imperial Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius are to be considered within that context, visually underscoring the greatness of Ancient Rome.
The two archival prints we offer by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, are referred to as the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius, respectively.
Print #1, is referred to as Piranesi’s Elevation of the Column of Trajan (ruled 98–117 CE). This artwork shows the frieze that wraps around the entire column, depicting scenes from the two campaigns that Trajan undertook against the Dacians in what is now Romania. At the top of the column, Piranesi fancifully restored the long-lost statue of the Emperor, standing on an elaborate base of the artist’s own invention.
Our Print #2 is referred to as Piranesi’s, The Column of Marcus Aurelius (ruled 161–180 CE). This facsimile artwork is a monument modelled after the Column of Trajan. On this column, the frieze depicts scenes from the two campaigns that Marcus undertook against the barbarian tribes that inhabited lands north of the Danube. Piranesi, faithful to the original, includes the post-Antique statue of St. Paul that in 1588 had replaced the long-lost ancient statue of Marcus atop the column.
This listing is for your choice of a single print (print #1 or print #2) or for both prints (#1 and #2).
When choosing the size of 'Both Prints', the size listed will be the size for each of the prints you receive. Therefore, if you choose 'Both Prints - 27" x 97"', then each of the prints you receive will each be sized at 27" x 97" respectively.

++Because our archival prints are digitized directly from the original artwork, our prints will depict the vintage appeal and style of decades and centuries-old artifacts.
Due to the age of the original artwork, this reproduction map's details may have inaccuracies, misspellings, and mistakes made by the original cartographer when first designed.
+ All of our prints that are displayed in frames in our product images are for the marketing purposes of our prints only. We market our prints framed so you can see and determine what the final result of a framed print by you may look like.
PLEASE NOTE: The smaller the print you order, the smaller details/scale on the artwork. Please keep this in mind when ordering your size. If you have any concerns or questions please reach out to us for more information.
Due to the large size of the larger print, there will be less sharpness when compared to our smaller prints of this artwork. If you are purchasing the large size, we recommend a minimum viewing distance of 3' - 5', as is the case with most, if not all, large format artwork.
All digital watermarks will be removed before printing.

(More about gallery wrapped canvas and what it is and looks like (http://bit.ly/2iayfGY - PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING)
***** Please note: Extra large gallery wrapped canvas orders will incur freight shipping overage our flat-shipping rate of $3
++ Please be aware, if you live outside the USA, your print, unfortunately, cannot be returned
++ Please be aware, as mentioned previously, this artwork is derived from a vintage original so there will be natural signs of aging, distressing, creasing, paper folds and other vintage patina that may be depicted on antique art from decades to centuries ago.
++ Artwork color - we live in the digital age so all digital devices will display the color of the artwork differently. We try our very best to depict the artwork as most accurately as possible, however, without fail, someone's device display will showcase the artwork differently. Please know that we do our best to present the images and details with as much integrity as feasible.

FRAMES: NONE of our prints come framed, however, all frames purchased through pictureframes.com/monarch (online framing wholesaler) will get a 25% discount when they use our code: PRO25
We suggest giving pictureframes.com a call and ordering the frame un-assembled, otherwise, you will get hit with an over-sized shipping charge depending on the frame size you order. Next, they will send you all the tools and glue to assemble the frame/s which is honestly very easy to complete and takes no more than 5-10 minutes typically. For the acrylic or glass and the backing material, we suggest purchasing this locally at a frame shop or finding a local plastic supplier as shipping the acrylic can be expensive.

Why a Fine Art camera vs a scanner to capture our resources? Someone who is turning scanned art into prints with a $700 scanner is losing out on the depth, sharpness, detailing and hard to capture artifacts a $50,000 camera can deliver, therefore, we've made sure to invest in the quality of work we provide so you get what you pay for.

Your artwork will ship without the watermark that is visible on the product image.
Your artwork will ship without the 'color name' that is listed across the artwork in instances where the art is sold in an array of different colors. The color name is used to define and clarify which print color you are purchasing only.
We do add an additional, complimentary, white border around your artwork (increases overall paper size). This border is an extension of the paper the artwork is printed on. The artwork print size itself will not change in dimensions from the size you purchase, only around the margins of your chosen artwork size will the white border be extended. We add this white border to make framing easier. The added border will tuck under the lip of the frame and it will be used to hold the artwork in place. Without it, the printed artwork itself may be covered by the lip of the frame. Therefore, we add the white border to prevent this from happening.
We take special pride in our shipping services and our shipping materials.
All artwork is shipped in a high quality, very durable shipping container. Your artwork is wrapped in a special elixir paper so it will be protected during delivery.
From the time your artwork is printed, it is handled with gloves so no direct human contact will ever touch your print directly.
All artwork ships in 3-5 business days (Monday - Friday) in most instances.
All orders placed in the USA will print and ship from our US printer.
All orders placed in Europe will typically print and ship from our European printer.
All orders placed in Australia and New Zealand will typically be printed and shipped from our printer in Australia.
We do ship worldwide and we try to make it as efficient and seamless as possible for you to receive your order once it has been placed with us.
We can offer a rush printing service and a rush delivery option for you. Please send us a note to inquire about both of these options as each one will incur an additional service fee and expedited shipping charge.
Currently, we do not provide returns on purchased prints as all our orders are made-to-order.

One of the most common questions we get is in reference to what are the differences between Giclée and Photo Rag.
We cover this information a bit more in depth so it will help you decide between the two paper options we supply: Material Differences
For a quick and simple overview, Photo Rag is simply one of the best papers available anywhere. The Photo Rag paper absorbs inks deeper and provides richer colors overall.
Our Giclee printed papers are a high performance fine art paper. Both paper types (Giclee and Photo Rag) have archival properties and are acid free.
Our canvas prints are gallery stretched and wrapped onto a wood mount with a 3/4" depth.
Our rolled canvas is simply a rolled sheet of canvas with a 1" border.
Because we are unable to ship canvas wood mounted prints over 40" in either height or width due to the cost of freight shipping, we therefore recommend our rolled canvas as a viable alternative as it can be stretched and mounted by a local arts and crafts store or with a local framer near you. This allows you to save money on the freight shipping cost for canvas stretched and wrapped artwork over 40" in either width or height.
All prices listed as 'Canvas' are for gallery wrapped wood mounted canvas. If 'Rolled Canvas' is offered for a print, it will be listed as 'Rolled Canvas'.
We also will add a .25", .5" or 1" white border to each side of your artwork. This border helps make the framing of your art easier should you decide to. The white border does increase the overall paper size.
