Cantor Arts Center presents 15 stunning drawings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) of the three ancient temples at Paestum, south of Naples. The Italian printmaker completed these works right at the end of his life. Together they form the largest body of work he ever devoted to a single topographical site.
