Abstract:
In 1881, French artist Paul Phillipoteaux painted the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama. It is the world's largest oil painting, measuring 376 feet long and 22 feet high. Wake Forest University now owns the painting and stores it in Clemmons, North Carolina. State Senator Ham Horton of Winston-Salem feels the painting would be a great tourist attraction and got $50,000 from the 1999 General Assembly to do a feasibility study on assembling the painting in suitable surroundings as a tourist attraction.
