Modern Rome
Modern Rome
Giovanni Paolo Panini, 1757
Some works attempt to capture a city.
Others attempt to capture civilization itself.
In Modern Rome, Giovanni Paolo Panini gathers the grandeur of eighteenth-century Rome into a single imagined gallery — monuments, paintings, sculptures, fountains, and architecture unfolding endlessly through arches and vaulted halls. Created in 1757 as a companion to his Ancient Rome, the work functions almost like a luxurious visual itinerary, collecting the city's artistic and architectural achievements into one overwhelming and immersive space.
Painted during the height of the Grand Tour era, the composition blurs the boundary between museum, memory, and fantasy. Every surface reveals another discovery: Bernini sculptures, Roman piazzas, painted ceilings, fragments of architecture, and visitors surrounded by abundance at every scale.
Currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this archival-quality reproduction brings one of Panini's most celebrated architectural fantasies back into lived space.
