Full Description

Langenbach, who became known for his photographic documentation of the Textile Milltowns of New England, Great Britain and India, under a series of grants and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, has now turned his attention to the iconic historic landscape of Rome. Inspired by the extraordinary engravings of the ruins of Ancient Rome by Giambattista Piranesi, Langenbach uses modern-day digital photography to document the same views that Piranesi captured over a quarter of a millennium ago, displaying some of the most iconic ruins of an ancient civilisation on the planet.
