Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell Author Susanna Clarke to Publish New Novel in 2020 https://t.co/SAScY0jcFv via @tordotcom
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Sixteen years after giving us Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, author Susanna Clarke will publish her second novel, Piranesi!
"Piranesi will follow the story of its eponymous hero, who lives in the House, a building with “hundreds if not thousands of rooms and corridors, imprisoning an ocean. A watery labyrinth.”
hmmm Piranesi....
Have a look at this detailed 18th cent. copperplate of a #Roman gladiator helmet by G.B. Piranesi. What a perfect use of light and shade. #materpieceofart #Archaeology & #Art

"These speaking ruins have filled my spirit with images that accurate drawings, even such as those of the immortal Palladio, could never have succeeded in conveying." -Piranesi. Get a copy of Piranesi: The Complete Etchings from our shop https://t.co/b9JxvGR7Eb

Artist and architect Thomas Sandby intended this ‘Bridge of Magnificence’ to span the Thames at Somerset House. Inspired by Piranesi and Palladio the c. 1780 design consisted of nine arches supporting a colonnade and classical pavilions. Image © The Trustees of the @BritishMuseum
More Strange & Fantastical Post-Apocalyptic Ruins by François de Nomé (1593 – after 1620). The Frenchman lived in Naples, and created paintings of imaginary ruins - some inspired by the Fall of Rome & Sack of Troy. He lived 100 years before Piranesi & 300 before the Surrealists.
The Ruins of Ancient Rome by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778). "His etchings of the remains of a great civilization couple his archaeological interest in detail with his flair for dramatic effect...the ruins suggest romance, mystery, melancholy, awesome possibility & loss."
Transmediatic translations: #comics, #architecture & the #city: Milo Manara, Jodorowsky, Piranesi's Carceri et al in 'I Borgia' (2004-2011). Via @DuarteUrdiales
A first flop. 7 years before Piranesi's astounding Imaginary Prisons (1750) were published, he created an equally amazing book of 12 prints of "imaginary buildings & ancient ruins". The "Prima Parte di Architetture e Prospettive" did not sell but Piranesi was undeterred.
