View of Rome, Giovanni Paolo Pannini (1747)
Panini’s painting a "View of Rome," dated 1747, depicts the Roman Forum from an impossible vantage point between Temple of Saturn and Arch of Septimius Severus. Panini
embellishes the scene with classical flourishes by rendering the Flavian Amphitheater visible in the distance and adding several figures and sculptures to enliven the scene.
