The artwork, titled “Plan of the first and second floor of that museum,” is an exemplary piece by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an artist associated with the Neoclassicism movement. This work belongs to the cityscape genre and illustrates an architectural plan in meticulous detail.
The artwork presents a detailed layout of the first and second floors of a museum. Each floor is depicted in a rectangular frame with rooms and passages clearly numbered and proportioned. The divisions within the floors are demarcated with thick lines representing walls, while thinner lines indicate doorways and other structural elements. The design is rendered in a precise, technical style, characteristic of Piranesi’s architectural drawings, providing insight into the spatial organization typical of the period. The labels and inscriptions are elegantly written, enhancing the formal presentation of the architectural plan.
