''Carceri d'Invenzione'' (Imaginary Prisons) is a series of 16 prints by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Created in the mid-18th century, this collection is renowned for its intricate compositions that blend architectural fantasy with a vivid sense of perspective and space. The series is considered one of Piranesi's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the world of graphic arts, reflecting the artist's fascination with Roman antiquity and his imaginative reinterpretation of its ruins.

The ''Carceri'' series is characterized by its elaborate, labyrinthine structures and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and complexity. The prints depict immense, fictional subterranean vaults with stairs, bridges, and scaffolding that intertwine in a seemingly endless and oppressive space. These imaginary prisons are populated by tiny, indistinct figures that appear trapped within the vast architectural constructs, emphasizing the grandeur and the overwhelming nature of the environments.

Piranesi first published the series in 1749-1750 as a set of 14 etchings, and later reworked and expanded it in 1761 with additional plates, bringing the total to 16. The ''Carceri'' prints are notable for their departure from the typical vedute (views) of the period, which were more realistic depictions of existing locations. Instead, Piranesi's work delves into the realm of capriccio, a genre that allows for architectural fantasies and imaginative creations.

The ''Carceri d'Invenzione'' has been interpreted in various ways, with some seeing it as a reflection of Piranesi's personal despair or a commentary on the human condition, while others view it as an exploration of the sublime or an anticipation of the Romantic movement. The series has had a lasting influence on the arts, inspiring generations of artists, writers, and filmmakers with its haunting vision of a dark, intricate world that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination.
