Pantheon, Rome

The Hagia Sophia and Pantheon are of these old Roman structures, vital for their changing verifiable parts and their significance as points of interest. I believe these structures speak to a great part of the historical backdrop of both urban areas and give an important wellspring of knowledge for recorded and imaginative examination. In my comparison paper, I will discuss the significance of the Pantheon and Hagia Sophia to both Roman and Byzantine empires. The Pantheon all by itself is an…

March 2015 History Although the Pantheon was not just built once, it was destroyed and rebuilt twice. It was first built under the rule of Marcus Agrippa. It was just a rectangular building with a typical Greek styled temple. It burned down and all that remained was the front entrance. Domitian then rebuilt the Pantheon but was also burned down by a strike of lightning. Hadrian was the emperor that completely restored and rebuilt the Pantheon in Rome. The Pantheon is a remarkable…

Tiger Gao Art History ASP w/ Mr. Callahan 10/10/2015 Why can the Pantheon in Rome be seen as the pinnacle of Roman architecture? The Pantheon was built by Emperor Hadrian between 118 and 125 C.E. and is regarded as one of the most iconic pieces of Roman architecture. Built without any steel rods, Pantheon withstood external influences in the past centuries and still stands as one of the best-preserved temples in Rome today, representing the pinnacle of Roman architecture. While the Pantheon’s…

Rome stood as a true empire in the early centuries of the Common Era. Its wealth and power went unmatched in the West for years. Engineering was an area Rome specialized in. With the invention of concrete, Rome could build structures unmatched in the ancient world. Though Rome herself fell, these buildings have stood the test of time. Everyone knows the Colosseum, which is also, though less popularly, known as the Flavian Amphitheater. While the Colosseum is spectacular in its own right,…

The Pantheon is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to the seven deities of the seven planets in the Rome state religion. It has becomes a church since 7th century and also the best preserved of all ancient Rome buildings with its original roof intact. The most interesting part about this building is its perfect interior proportions. The Pantheon is a breathtaking work of engineering where its foundations and lower walls are built of solid staff, which slowly give way to…

just broken away from the church as well. The library was based upon roman temples, with a center dome. Instead of temple for Gods he uses this design on his library to symbolize the temple of knowledge. The dome on the church was inspired by the pantheon, which goes along with the roman influence. The University is very symmetric, which Jefferson got this idea from the Chateau de Marly in France. They both have little pavilions found on either side as well as garden space. He wanted the library…

In order to find objects and environments that I could relate to art history that I have learned in this class I decided to take a walk around my neighborhood and its nearby surroundings. I live in Kissimmee and extremely close to Saint Cloud so I decided to start off by looking around the Lakefront Park area. At first I did not think that I would be able to find many things that I would be able to relate to art, but I think that is because I had never actually tried to pay attention to small…

building from the historically-renowned Roman Pantheon (National Park Service Paragraph 2). John Russell Pope later died, and so architects Daniel P. Higgins and Otto R. Eggers took over the project (National Park Service Paragraph 1). The resemblance between the Jefferson Memorial and the Roman Pantheon is quite striking, and yet the overall design of the Jefferson Memorial is idiosyncratic in nature. The Jefferson Memorial takes from the Roman Pantheon the overall shape of the building,…

Roman pantheon The pantheon building was very remarkable and had lots of great features and background to it. The third pantheon was built in 118 A.D to 125. The first two pantheon buildings were burnt down, one was burnt and the other was struck by lightning and then it burnt down And later the third was made. The first pantheon was built and commissioned by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, and that is why on the pantheon building it says M. AGRIPPA.L.F.COS TERTIUM.FECIT. The second pantheon…
