"Carceri d'Invenzione" (Imaginary Prisons) is a series of etchings by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, first published in 1749-50. This collection is renowned for its intricate and fantastical depictions of enormous, labyrinthine prison interiors, which blend elements of classical architecture with a surreal, almost nightmarish quality. Piranesi, who was an architect, archaeologist, and artist, utilized his profound understanding of architectural forms and his vivid imagination to create these dramatic and evocative scenes.

The "Carceri" series consists of 16 plates in its original edition, which was later expanded to 14 plates in a second edition published in 1761. The etchings are characterized by their complex compositions, featuring towering arches, endless staircases, and massive, oppressive structures that dwarf the tiny human figures scattered throughout. These images convey a sense of infinite space and a foreboding atmosphere, reflecting Piranesi's fascination with the sublime and the grotesque.

Piranesi's work on the "Carceri" series is often interpreted as a critique of the Enlightenment's rationalism and the burgeoning industrial age, suggesting a darker, more chaotic undercurrent to the era's progress and order. The etchings have been influential in various fields, inspiring writers, artists, and filmmakers with their visionary and haunting imagery. The "Carceri" series stands as a testament to Piranesi's genius and his ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional architectural representation, creating works that continue to captivate and intrigue audiences to this day.
