"Carceri d'Invenzione" (Imaginary Prisons) is a series of etchings by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, created between 1748 and 1750. These works are renowned for their intricate and fantastical architectural compositions, which depict vast, labyrinthine prisons filled with towering structures, endless staircases, and complex machinery. The series is often considered a masterpiece of architectural fantasy and a significant contribution to the art of printmaking.

Piranesi, who was deeply influenced by his background in architecture and his fascination with ancient Roman ruins, infused the "Carceri" series with a sense of grandeur and melancholy. The etchings are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, creating a haunting atmosphere that evokes a sense of both awe and dread. The compositions are meticulously detailed, with each element contributing to the overall sense of scale and complexity.

The "Carceri" series was initially published in 1745 in a set of fourteen plates, but Piranesi later reworked and expanded the series to sixteen plates in a second edition published in the 1760s. The revised edition featured more elaborate and refined details, enhancing the already intricate designs. The etchings have been widely studied and admired for their technical prowess and imaginative vision.

Piranesi's "Carceri" has had a lasting impact on both art and literature, influencing a range of artists, writers, and architects. The series has been interpreted in various ways, from a critique of the oppressive nature of institutional power to a reflection of the artist's own psychological landscape. The "Carceri" continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic and otherworldly imagery, standing as a testament to Piranesi's genius and his ability to transcend the boundaries of reality through his art.
