Honestly, what does this dinglebob think a battle is like? Water lilies?

The dinglebob is also unaware that many painters (some of whom were inclined toward the new impressionist styles) actually earned money for their own artistic pursuits (and kept their families fed) by working on these "lowbrow" pre-impressionist panoramic paintings.

Excellent point. I saw the Gettysburg Cyclorama most recently in the early 90’s. It’s a significant historical artifact, and I’m glad they’ve fixed it up.
