Piranesi prints of ancient Rome and plates from Stuart and Revett's Antiquities of Athens document the debate that pervaded Rome during the Enlightenment about the respective merits of ancient Greece and Rome. Co-curated by Pieter Broucke, professor of history of art and architecture and associate curator of ancient art, and students from his fall first-year seminar. This exhibition was made possible with help from the Bread Loaf Corporation, Parnassus Foundation, and the Friends of the Middlebury College Library.
