Interior of the Pantheon, Rome by Giovanni Paolo Panini captures the awe-inspiring interior of the ancient Roman temple with its famous oculus flooding the space with light. Panini was the master of the veduta and the capriccio, celebrated for his precise architectural views of Rome that combined topographical accuracy with dramatic perspective.
