A rendering of the central section of the ornate coffeepot designed by Piranesi and included in “Diverse Maniere...”. This object clearly demonstrates Piranesi’s interest in the growth and development of natural form and his interest in applying this form to his philosophy of design.
A comparison between Piranesi’s print and a 3 dimensional rendering of the coffeepot during modelling at voxelstudios, Madrid.
