Agrippa's Legacy: The Pantheon as St. Maria ad Martyres, 1761

About the Item

This etching, "Veduta del Pantheon d'Agrippa oggi Chiesa di S. Maria ad Martyres," is a work from 1761 by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist famous for his vedute, or detailed prints, of Rome. Description: The image captures the Pantheon as it was in the 18th century, with the inscription indicating its transformation from Agrippa's Pantheon to the church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs. Piranesi's signature is within the plate, a common practice to mark authenticity. The dimensions of the print are 48 x 70 cm. Hind 60 I (of V) refers to the catalog reference by Arthur M. Hind, a scholar who created a catalog of Piranesi's works. Piranesi's art is renowned for its dramatic and intricate detail, conveying not just the architecture but also the atmosphere of the Roman landscape.
