This 16th-century drawing by an anonymous artist is a study of the Pantheon in Rome. It depicts detailed elevations and plans of the building, showcasing its architectural features, including the Corinthian pilaster capitals and alcove details. This drawing reflects the Renaissance's fascination with classical architecture, as artists and architects studied and reproduced ancient Roman structures, contributing to the revival of classical orders and principles in their own work.
