Artwork Details

Subject: The Pantheon, an ancient Roman temple, viewed from the Piazza della Rotonda, a public square in Rome, Italy. The scene depicts a busy marketplace with many people and an obelisk in the center of the square.
Artist/Publisher: The image is based on drawings by Nicolas-Marie-Joseph Chapuy and Jules Monthelier, and was part of a series often lithographed by Félix Benoist and others.
Medium: It is a two-color lithograph print (black and beige).
Historical Context: The print captures the appearance of the Pantheon before significant urban transformations turned Rome into the capital of a unified Italy. The text at the bottom is in French and Italian, describing the building as the "Pantheon d'Agrippa" and "today the Church of Santa Maria and the Martyrs"
