Publisher:	Francesco Piranesi, Rome
Note:	Francesco Piranesi: Giovanni Battista Piranesi is undoubtedly one of the greatest artists of all times. As an etcher of the antique he stands well above the others. Not surprisingly, both his son, Francesco, and his daughter, Laura, carried on in their father's footsteps. Only Francesco, however, attained a status worthy of his name. Instructed in both engraving and architecture by his father, he was both engraving his own works of art and assisting his father's work by 1775. Upon the death of Giovanni Piranesi, three years later, he acquired his father's publishing house and was responsible for printing most of the later editions of his prints.
	In the following years, Francesco Piranesi built his reputation primarily upon his engravings of antique statuary. In 1798, the revolution drove him to Paris. He was later employed by Napoleon's government to engrave the antique vases and statues in collections in France and within French occupied Italy.
	This original engraving entitled, Fauno di Rosso Antico Trovato... hails from a series of antique busts, statues, vases and fragments Piranesi created before his departure to Paris. All the plates were designed by Piroli and bear dates from 1785 to 1788. They clearly portray the fine lines and strong tonal values of the art of the Piranesi family.
