Appreciation 丨 World Wonder Architecture 丨 - "The Interior of the Pantheon in Rome" Author: Giovanni Paul Pannini Creation time: 1734 Today we use a painting to understand a building - Pantheon icon Every time I go to Rome, I will take some time to go to the Pantheon, to see Raphael who is buried here, to imagine Brunelleschi was inspired by the architecture of the Pantheon and designed the stunning dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Buy a gunther's ice cream and head to the Church of Saint Louis to see my beloved socialite, Caravaggio. First, let's introduce the Pantheon, which, as the name suggests, is dedicated to all the gods of Rome. Originally built by Octavian icon's son-in-law Agrippa, only the structure was unfortunately left in the fire of 80 AD, and with Hadrian's support, the classic of ancient Roman architecture continues to this day. On the front of Rotonda Square, you can see this magnificent building, and above the portico is inscribed a string of Latin "M. Agrippa · L·F· COS· TERTIVM· FECIT "Son of Lycius, three consuls, Marcus Agrippa built the temple. Next we learn about the Pantheon through the work of the painter Giovanni Paul Panini icon, who, as a view painter (who printed and sold his beloved ancient Roman architectural paintings to European tourists), truly portrayed the magnificence of the Pantheon. We can see from the painting that this rotunda, surrounded by marble statues represent the gods worshipped by the ancient Romans: Venus icon, the goddess of love, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, Diana, the goddess of the hunt, Apollo, the god of the sun, Jupiter icon, and Bacchus, the god of wine. The temple was full of people, worshippers, conversations, tourists and Romans. Look up at the dome and see the big hole, which is the source of the building, and every year at noon on April 21, the sun shines through this round hole, and the pillar of light will fall on the gate, and you can imagine the ancient Roman emperor entering with his own aura under the illumination of the light source. Nowadays, every year on the Feast of the Holy Spirit, the Romans will arrange a very romantic ceremony, let the firefighters climb the dome, throw tens of thousands of rose petals from the round hole, romantic and beautiful, there are many videos on the Internet, you can find it. Finally, speaking of Raphael, walking down the door to the left-hand side, I saw Raphael's tomb, very low-key sitting in a corner, no heavy sarcophagus, marble decoration, only a metal wreath and two metal upside-down birds, light and fragile, symbolizing his dazzling and short life. Someone will occasionally come here to bring flowers. Here's a string of epitaphs: "Raphael rested here, and before he died, nature felt the fear of defeat; and when he died, nature feared him to die." Above the tomb is a sculpture from Lorenzote, the Virgin and Child. #罗马 #万神殿 #遇见拉斐尔
