"Fregio antico di marmo con Ippogrifi, nel cortile del palazzo della Valle" (Ancient Marble Frieze with Hippogriffs in the Courtyard of The Palace of the Valley) is an etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, published in Rome in 1778. It is from Piranesi's monumental work "Vasi, Candelabri, Cippi, Sarcofagi, Tripodi, Lucerne, Ed Ornamenti Antichi", (Vases, candelabra, grave stones, sarcophagi, tripods, lamps, and ancient ornaments). It depicts an ancient Roman column, a frieze and other architectural elements, including Hippogriffs, which were magical beasts that had front legs, wings, and a head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse.
The etching is presented in a silver and gold colored wood frame with double mats; an outer grey faux marble patterned mat and a thin black inner mat. The frame measures 26.63" x 36.13" x 0.88". There is very faint spotting in the margins. The print is otherwise in very good condition.
