Oil on canvas (framed).

30x30"

• Concrete faced with Trajan brick
• Adorned with white Pentelic marble (Greek marble)

The Pantheon was for centuries a source of materials, the marble for new buildings. The contrast of the white marble and the ancient underlying brick inspired this detail of a very important historical Roman structure.
