The artwork entitled “Demonstration in large parts of the first order interior of the Pantheon” is a design piece by the artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent figure in the Neoclassicism art movement.
The artwork presents a meticulous and detailed architectural study of the Pantheon, highlighting significant elements of its design. It includes precise illustrations of various parts of a column from the interior of the Pantheon, showcased in a classical style.

The top section depicts a detailed plan view of the column’s capital, the middle section shows a side elevation of the column, and the bottom section presents a cross-sectional view of a column’s base.
