The Pantheon 

"The Pantheon" is a watercolor on paper by Victor Jean Nicolle, a French artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Nicolle's work often depicted architectural subjects and landscapes, as seen in this evocative portrayal of the Pantheon in Rome. The Pantheon, a Roman temple built in 126 AD, is depicted in its iconic form with its imposing dome and surrounding colonnade. The artist captures the monument's grandeur against a clear sky and a cobblestone square, with a fountain and a few figures adding scale and life to the composition. This intimate, oval-shaped watercolor offers a glimpse into the classical beauty of ancient Rome.
