PANPICS

Panorama Mesdag is one of the oldest panorama's in the world and was painted in 1881. Since the canvas is round (120 x 14 meter) one doesn't stand in front, but in the middle of the painting … a remarkable adventure.

'Never in my life I have seen something as beautiful as this. Panorama Mesdag only has one shortage and that is that it doesn't show any shortages.' - Vincent van Gogh (artist).

'Whilst I was standing there and watching around breathlessly, it slowly got to me that a magician had been working here.' - Marten Toonder (writer).

'After watching Panorama Mesdag - the miracle that didn't turn out to be a miracle - my search for the transcendental started. It had set the tone that determines my life and work, over and over again.'- Paul Verhoeven (filmmaker).
