The Pantheon - Rome, 1850. 'The Pantheon, in modern times, derives additional interest from its being the burial-place of Rafaele, A. Caracci, Zuccari, Peruzzi, and other eminent artists. But, independently of all associations, its beautiful interior - the circular figure of which is set off to the greatest advantage by a row of large Corinthian columns and pilasters, which sustain a magnificent entablature above, all constructed of rare marbles - will ever excite wonder and admiration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
