but awe at Pannini’s talent. At a grand scale, Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome is a masterpiece. Yet, within this greater piece are references for Pannini’s other works, advertising Pannini’s vaster collection.

The image of the woman, though, was a dynamic component of cinema that did not remain stagnant.
