The painter, Giovanni Paolo Panini, was an Italian artist who was both an architect and a painter. His paintings captured the excitement of the city and were popular with visiting tourists, who took them home as souvenirs just as people take home postcards today. The Pantheon’s impressive architecture has inspired many buildings, including the Rotunda of the National Gallery of Art! On view in the West Building, Gallery 30. <a href="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=165" title="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=165" rel="nofollow">http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=165</a></p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/interior-pantheon-rome-c-1734-giovanni-paolo-panini" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/interior-pantheon-rome-c-1734-giovanni-paolo-panini#comments For Kids Giovanni Paolo Panini Italian Painting Painting Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/2a/2a3d611db3d7ea3c/poster-image-01.jpg 2a3d611db3d7ea3c Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:28:50 +0000 s-sarraf 8833 at http://artbabble.org
