The "Crucifixion" by Eugene Field
[1]There is about to be exhibited in this city a panorama entitled JERUSALEM ON THE DAY OF THE CRUCIFIXION.This is a work of magnitude, of beauty and of delicacy. Of the many panoramas which, during the last five years, have been viewed by the Chicago public, there have been no other that approached this one in the peculiarities of sublimity of subject and fineness and concinnity of treatment. In no other work of this kind have we found so vast a multiplicity of detail; the demands upon the artists have been most extraordinary, involving, in addition to the requirements necessary to an intelligent composition, extensive architectural research and the most careful study of sacred and profane history. Here then we have a succession of pictures, conceived in a spirit of truth and executed in the best art--a series of pictures leading up to a reverential treatment of that sublime sacrifice which for nineteen centuries has constituted the faith of civilization.[2]The original painting was done by Bruno Piglhein of Munich, the architecture by the leaned and famous Karl Frosch. Of the immense panorama about to be exhibited to the Chicago public the details of landscape have been done by F.W.Heine and August Lohr; the figures by Hermann Michalowski, Franz Rohrbeck and Theodor Zukotynsky, and the animals by Richard Lorenz and Georg Peter. We are particular to give these names. The work as a whole and in each of its details is so marvelous that the public has a right to know the names of its authors.[MORE}
