Pantheon

Rome's most perfect building, seen from the piazza — this fine art photograph of the Pantheon captures the exterior of one of the world's most extraordinary architectural achievements from the perspective of the visitor approaching across the Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon's facade presents a deceptively simple face to the world: eight massive Corinthian columns of Egyptian granite supporting a classical pediment, with the inscription of Marcus Agrippa above the door. But step inside and the true scale of the building reveals itself — a vast circular space surmounted by the greatest dome of antiquity, open to the sky through the oculus at its apex. Built by the Emperor Hadrian around 125 AD, the Pantheon has been in continuous use for nearly two thousand years and remains the best-preserved ancient building in Rome. This photograph captures the building in its urban setting, surrounded by the life of the city that has grown up around it over the centuries. A piece of eternal Rome for your wall.
