"Veduta Di Fianco Del Panteon," engraved 1821 by Luigi Rossini (Italian, 1790-1857). He is best known for his etchings of ancient Roman architecture. Rossini was born in Ravenna, and studied at the Academy of Bologna and graduated in 1813 as an architect and artist. The Pantheon was commissioned by Marcus Agrippa, a Roman statesman, general and architect during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). It has been in continuous use throughout its history as a church and as one the greatest architectural achievements of the Roman Empire and of Western architecture in general.In contrast to Piranesi, Rossini made greater use of the bucolic settings in his etchings of Roman ruins. His images of the architectural masterpieces of ancient Rome, including the Pantheon, the Coliseum, the Appian Way, the Temple of Peace, and the Golden House of Nero, have greatly influenced architects, artists, writers, and other connoisseurs of Roman culture up to the present day.
