This engraving, entitled "Veduta del Pantheon" (View of the Pantheon), from 1756, is found in volume 1, plate 15, figure 2 of "Le Antichità Romane". The latter is a celebrated series of engravings and texts by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, one of the most influential engravers and architects of the 18th century.

The plate depicting the Pantheon offers a valuable record of how this building looked at that time. The Pantheon, originally a temple dedicated to all the gods and later converted into a church, is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Roman architecture.

Piranesi's engravings not only documented the physical appearance of buildings but also helped to create an evocative atmosphere, often exalting the majesty and decay of the ancient structures.
