Interior of the Church of St Geneviève, Paris

Interior of the Church of St Genevieve, Paris from around 1830 by David Roberts depicts the neo-classical interior of the church that was later secularized as the Pantheon. The classical interior provided a contrast to the Gothic churches that dominated Roberts's architectural output. His success with lithographic publications of his Middle Eastern travels made Roberts's images of ancient monuments available to a wide public and defined the Victorian visual imagination of the Holy Land and Egypt

The classical interior is rendered with the same architectural precision Roberts brought to Gothic subjects, the Corinthian columns and coffered dome captured with characteristic skill.
