"Dalle Carceri d'Invenzione," often referred to simply as "Carceri," is a series of etchings by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, first published in 1745 and later reworked and republished in 1761. These etchings are among Piranesi's most famous works and are considered masterpieces of the 18th-century printmaking. The series consists of 16 plates that depict vast, imaginary prisons filled with intricate architectural details, labyrinthine passages, and monumental staircases. The "Carceri" series is renowned for its dramatic use of perspective, light, and shadow, creating a sense of overwhelming scale and complexity.

Piranesi's "Carceri" are not depictions of actual prisons but rather fantastical constructions that reflect his fascination with architecture and the sublime. The etchings are characterized by their dark, brooding atmosphere and the sense of oppressive grandeur. The spaces depicted are vast and seemingly infinite, filled with towering arches, colossal columns, and intricate machinery. The human figures within these spaces are dwarfed by their surroundings, emphasizing the monumental scale and the sense of isolation and entrapment.

The "Carceri" series has been interpreted in various ways by art historians and critics. Some view the works as a critique of the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and order, suggesting that the labyrinthine prisons symbolize the darker, more chaotic aspects of the human mind. Others see them as a reflection of Piranesi's own architectural fantasies and his interest in the ruins of ancient Rome.

Piranesi's "Carceri" had a significant influence on later artists and writers, including the Romantic poets and the Surrealists. The series continues to be celebrated for its technical mastery and its imaginative power, offering a haunting vision of architectural grandeur and human vulnerability.
