Rome Within Rome

In Gallery with Views of Modern Rome (1757), Giovanni Paolo Panini creates a painting within a painting, it’s an imagined salon where canvases of Rome’s landmarks hang on lavish walls. In Slow Art format, the opulence and detail emerge gradually: gilded frames, sunlit columns, and bustling figures pull viewers into a reverie of cultural memory. Panini’s architectural precision and theatrical flair celebrate Rome as both eternal subject and museum. Each slow frame becomes an invitation to wander through time and space without leaving the room.
