Bourbaki Panorama Luzern

Panoramic images were a form of mass media in the 19th century. Today, circular paintings can be interpreted not only as a precursor of the cinema, but also as a pioneer of state-of-the-art digital presentation forms. The Bourbaki Panorama was painted by Edouard Castres in Geneva in 1881. Castres realistically depicted the misery of war, thereby revealing his zealous commitment to peace.
