Sir John Soane is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Soane drew detailed architectural plans in the late 1700s. His 1778 drawing shows a cross-section of the Pantheon’s portico—imagine slicing a building in half to see the pillars and ceiling inside. Soane worked in pencil and ink, focusing on how light moves through stone. If you like precise lines and old buildings, tap his drawing to see how he planned spaces before cameras existed.
