Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a renowned Italian artist known for his etchings and architectural drawings, created this detailed engraving depicting the intricate details of the Pantheon’s first order. The engraving, titled "Modinatura in grande del primo ordine interno del Pantheon", focuses on the intricate moldings, the capital, and the entablature of the structure. Piranesi’s meticulous attention to detail and his use of precise measurements showcase his profound admiration for Roman architecture and his role as a pioneer of Neoclassical design. This engraving, like many of his others, provides valuable insight into the architectural heritage of ancient Rome, serving as a testament to his dedication to preserving and understanding the past.
