About the piece
Painted in 1758 by Giovanni Paolo Panini, this spectacular work is a 'capriccio'—a whimsical architectural fantasy. It imagines a vast hall displaying dozens of Panini's own views of Rome's most iconic monuments, including the Colosseum and the Pantheon, alongside celebrated sculptures such as the Laocoön. This piece serves as a magnificent tribute to the Grand Tour era and the enduring legacy of classical antiquity.
