Agripa's Pantheon at night. Digital oil painting

Probably my favorite building of the Imperial Rome, and one of the best preserved. Pantheon means all the Gods, and was a temple to honor all the Roman deities, and then some. It was later turned into a Christian church.

The way the dome of the Pantheon was built remains a mystery and baffled architects of centuries after. Michelangelo, when he built the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica, designed the new one one meter narrower than the ancient Roman as a token of respect, SO this one remained the biggest dome in the world. If you follow the curvature of the dome inside the building you obtain a perfect sphere that just touches the ground.

This digital oil painting is based on this image:

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
