Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) was an Italian artist renowned for his etchings of Rome and its ancient monuments, as well as his imaginative and often fantastical architectural drawings. Piranesi's classical drawings are a significant part of his oeuvre, reflecting his deep fascination with the grandeur and decay of ancient Roman architecture. These works are characterized by their meticulous detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and a sense of scale that emphasizes the monumental nature of the structures he depicted.

Piranesi's classical drawings often served as preparatory studies for his more famous etchings, but they also stand alone as remarkable works of art. His training as an architect is evident in the precision and technical skill displayed in these drawings, which often blend real architectural elements with imaginative reconstructions. This blend of reality and fantasy not only showcases Piranesi's artistic talent but also his scholarly interest in the history and archaeology of Rome.

In his classical drawings, Piranesi explored a variety of subjects, including temples, amphitheaters, and other public buildings, as well as more intimate domestic interiors. His work was heavily influenced by the ruins of Rome, which he saw as a testament to the grandeur of the ancient world and a source of inspiration for contemporary architecture. Piranesi's drawings were instrumental in the development of neoclassicism in the 18th century, as they provided a visual reference for architects and artists seeking to revive the classical style.

Piranesi's classical drawings are not only valuable for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. They offer a glimpse into the 18th-century perception of antiquity and the ways in which ancient Rome was romanticized and reimagined. Today, these drawings are held in various collections around the world, including major museums and libraries, where they continue to be studied and admired for their beauty and historical importance.
