This is a detailed, cross-sectional drawing of the Pantheon in Rome by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, famous for his architectural engravings. The artwork divides the Pantheon into two halves; one half illustrates the outer structure, while the other shows the internal support system. The "Iconography of the Parts of the Inner and Outer Tube or Dome of the Pantheon" is a technical drawing, displaying Piranesi's deep understanding of architecture and engineering.
