EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Front Elevation of the Pantheon, Rome: A Historical and Architectural Marvel The Front Elevation of the Pantheon in Rome, as depicted in this exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving by Buonajuti from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno), published in Florence in 1843, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture. The Pantheon, dedicated to all the gods of pagan Rome, is one of the most well-preserved and influential structures from the ancient world. Built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian around 118-125 AD, the temple was later rededicated as a church in the 7th century AD and renamed Santa Maria della Rotonda. This front elevation illustration reveals the temple's iconic design, featuring a portico of eight large Corinthian columns supporting a triangular pediment. The central dome, with an oculus (central opening) that lets in natural light, is a testament to the architectural brilliance of the time. The Pantheon's design was revolutionary for its time, as it combined elements of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, such as the Corinthian columns and the dome, which was a departure from the traditional flat-roofed temples. The Pantheon's history is intertwined with that of the Roman Baths, as the site was believed to have been part of the Baths of Agrippa or the Baths of Titus (Terme di Tito). The bath complex, which included the Pantheon, was a public space for the citizens of Rome to gather, relax, and socialize. This meticulously hand-colored copperplate engraving is a testament to the enduring allure of the Pantheon and the rich history of ancient Roman architecture. It invites us to explore the past and appreciate the architectural masterpieces that have shaped our world.
