Pantheon

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…

Monticello by Thomas Jefferson and the Pantheon appear to have similar features but are quite different overall. The Pantheon was build between A.D 118 to 125 and its style is ancient Roman. Monticello on the other hand was build a long time after in 1772 and its style is neoclassical. Monticello is a revival of ancient roman architecture which why they have many similar features. The time differences between the two buildings can be clearly seen since the Pantheon has a rusty worn out…

Ancient Roman buildings, the Pantheon is an amazing example of just what the Romans were capable of engineering. The Pantheon was a major achievement for the Romans and has made a stamp upon architecture than any other building . The Pantheon was the first of its kind in Rome that was constructed in a non-traditional temple structure. Instead of being setup like a traditional Roman temple, it is the beginning of the traditional catholic temple setting. Location The Pantheon is a church, that…

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…

The Pantheon, built in Rome, Italy around 118-125 CE and the Colosseum, also built in Rome, around 70-80 CE will be discussed in this essay. The Pantheon became the temple for all the gods after the Hadrian emperor came into power. The Pantheon is simply made out of concrete, like any other Roman architecture, with one narrow end. Everything about the Pantheon is revolutionary except that “its façade of eight Corinthian columns – almost all that could be seen from ground level in antiquity – was…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

A lot of architecture in this modern era reflects that of the past. Ancient Rome specifically had a large influence on the structure of buildings that still stand today. Asheville in particular is a very architecturally interesting city because it hasn 't been completely modernized with tall, straight buildings and has many older buildings still standing even in the center of town. There are many buildings and churches in this little town that reflect past building techniques and styles. One…
