Panoramic Painting

Panoramic Painting

Panoramic paintings are massive artworks that reveal a wide, all-encompassing view of a particular subject, often a landscape, military battle, or historical event. They became especially popular in the 19th Century in Europe and the United States, inciting opposition from writers of Romantic poetry. A few have survived into the 21st Century and are on public display.

    If men at forty will be painting lakes

    The basic slate, the universal hue.
