Views of Rome: The Pantheon

Giovanni Battista Piranesi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large building with a domed roof and a triangular pedimented front. The building has a row of tall columns along the front and two small towers on either side of the roof. The front of the building features an inscription above the columns. A large dome rises from the back of the building, with a metal covering. The building appears to be made of stone and has a classical architectural style. In the foreground, there are people walking around, and some debris or rubble on the ground. The sky above is cloudy. The image is rendered in shades of gray, suggesting it may be an engraving or etching. The title "Views of Rome: The Pantheon" and the artist "Giovanni Battista Piranesi" are associated with this image.
