This anonymous 16th-century drawing, "Pantheon te Rome," depicts the iconic Roman Pantheon, a masterpiece of ancient architecture. The detailed rendering showcases the building's majestic dome, columns, and intricate ornamentation. The inscription "M. AGRIPPA. L. F. COS. TERTIVM FECIT" at the top of the structure reveals its historical significance, indicating that the Pantheon was originally commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during his third consulship. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable glimpse into the fascination with classical architecture during the Renaissance.
