The Pantheon in Rome, Italy houses several altars and a number of paintings. Behind the high altar there is a copy of a 13th century icon of the Madonna. The altarpiece in the Chapel of the Madonna of Mercy is a 15th century painting of The Madonna of Mercy between St. Francis and St. John the Baptist. Still another chapel holds a sculpture of St. Joseph and the Holy Child by Vincenzo de Rossi. In one of the niches between the chapels, is a crumbling 15th century fresco of the Coronation of the Virgin.
