The Capriccio of Roman Ruins with the Pantheon (1737) by Giovanni Paolo Pannini is a painting that blends imagination and historical memory, typical of the eighteenth-century taste for capriccio views. Pannini creates an ideal scene in which the Pantheon stands at the center, surrounded by an imaginary arrangement of Rome’s most famous monuments.
The ruins, deliberately placed in an anachronistic way, form a theatrical landscape that celebrates the grandeur of ancient Rome. The presence of human figures, travelers and scholars, animates the space and suggests the contemporary interest in archaeology and the contemplation of the past
