Giovanni Paolo Panini

Giovanni Paolo Panini, born in 1691 in Piacenza and died in 1765 in Rome, was an Italian painter known for his vedute of Rome and architectural scenes. His works, such as 'Interior of the Pantheon' and 'Ancient Rome,' are admired for their precise detail and atmospheric effects. Panini's contributions to Baroque art and his exploration of urban landscapes have made him a celebrated figure in 18th-century painting.
