Pictured is Joanne Bannon, Historic Collections Registrar, Heritage Services at Office of Public Works (OPW), looking at Gareth Neal's 'Mirrored Pair' vessel, part of the OPW's 'For the Love of the Master' exhibition in the Dublin Castle's Coach House. Conceived to commemorate the tercentenary of the birth of Piranesi in 2020 but delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the OPW presents the international exhibition 'For the Love of the Master', 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi to celebrate the legacy of this versatile Roman artist in the 21st century. Between his birth near Venice in 1720 and his death in Rome in 1778, Giovanni Battista Piranesi became renowned as an etcher, engraver, designer, architect, archaeologist and theorist. A fascination with Piranesi continues to influence architects, artists and designers long after his death. The exhibition opens tomorrow (17/6) in Dublin Castle's Coach House and Saturday in the Casino Marino and will run until the 18th of September. Photograph Mark Stedman
