From the Paper:

"By the middle of the 18th century, the rediscovery of ancient Greek art and architecture turned the artistic tastes of Europe in a brand-new direction which began the style and period known as Neoclassical. Within this period's admiration for the art of Greece, a similar admiration came about for the art of ancient Rome via the excavations of the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum in the 1730's and 1740's. Several excellent examples of this new style include the portico of the Church of Ste. Genevieve, now known as the Pantheon, in Paris, designed by Jacques Germain Soufflot (1713 to 1780)."
