Giovanni Paolo Pannini was particularly known for his large-format cityscapes and views, also known as Veduta. He showed particular interest in the city of Rome, which served most of his life as his home. His works showed real and imaginary views of the ruins of ancient Rome. Pannini combined precise observation and delicate nostalgia in his works. He included elements from the late classical baroque as well as early romanticism in his paintings. His best-known works include various depictions of the pantheon and St. Peter's Basilica, in which he repeatedly varied smaller details in the composition and thus provided variety.

In Italy it was common for famous painters to be addressed only by their last name. The same was true for Pannini. His education began in his hometown of Piacenza, in the Duchy of Parma. He studied with Guiseppe Natali, Andrea Galluzzi and Francesco Galli Bibiena, among others. He learned the profession of stage designer from Galli Bibiena. How long his education in Piacenza lasted and at what age he began to devote himself to art is not exactly known. From 1711 Pannini finally moved to Rome. There he received drawing lessons from Benedetto Luti . During his time in Rome he also became acquainted with Canaletto , whose works had a strong influence on Pannini. His training as a stage designer allowed him to artistically design various palaces in Rome, which quickly made him famous. From 1719 to 1725 he worked as a decorator at the Villa Patrizi, the Palazzo de Carolis or the Seminario Romano. In the course of his career, Pannini was also allowed to paint some famous personalities of his time, such as Pope Benedict XIV. He was also commissioned to paint Roman festivals several times. Before 1730, however, Pannini's works were strongly influenced by historical and religious motifs.

Pannini was also very active as a teacher and influenced many young artists. Between 1718 and 1719 he became a member of the Accademia di San Luca. There he later worked as a teacher. The Académie de France accepted him as a member in 1732 and later hired him as a professor of perspective at her school in Rome. There he also taught Jean Honore Fragonard , among others, whom he is said to have influenced. His other students included his son Francesco Pannini, who later followed in his father's footsteps, the Frenchman Hubert Robert and the veduta painter Antonio Joli . Robert worked in Pannini's studio and is considered his most important student. Pannini's style also indirectly influenced vedutists like Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto . His special eye for perspective has been imitated many times. Pannini's second son Guiseppe also took up an artistic profession and became a respected architect. Pannini died in Rome at the age of 74 and recently painted less and less. © Meisterdrucke
