This exhibition presented etchings by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo; his son, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo; Canaletto; and Venetian-born printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who lived and worked primarily in Rome.

On view were imaginary figural compositions by the Tiepolos; early architectural fantasies by Piranesi, including his famous Prisons; and Canaletto's vedute, which depict both actual sites in Venice and views that were pictorially rearranged. Curator Stephanie Wiles gave an Art à la mode gallery talk on Wednesday 27 January 1999.
