The artwork, titled “Demonstration of large parts of the second inner order of the Pantheon, now there are no more,” was created by the artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. It belongs to the Neoclassicism art movement and is categorized within the design genre.
The artwork meticulously illustrates large sections of the architectural details and components of the Pantheon’s second inner order, many of which no longer exist. It features meticulously drawn sections and elements such as columns, decorative cornices, and other integral architectural parts. The detailed engraving showcases Piranesi’s skill in capturing the precise design and craftsmanship of ancient Roman architecture, serving not only as a study of historical building techniques but also as a preservation of architectural heritage that has since been lost. The careful annotations and measurements further emphasize the scholarly and architectural significance of the artwork.
