Cyclorama of Jerusalem

Cyclorama of Jerusalem

The Cyclorama of Jerusalem is located in Ste. Anne de Beaupré, Quebec near the shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupré. It is a cyclorama, a circular painting, of the Crucifixion of Jesus, showing what the city might have looked like at the time of his death. The cyclorama has been on display since 1895. It was painted by Paul Philippoteaux, the famous panoramist from Paris.

The Cyclorama is not as claimed by the official website the world's biggest.[1] This particular Cyclorama is 14 meters x 110 meters while the Volgograd "Battle of Stalingrad" is 16 meters x 120 meters.

1958-59. After months of interviews and extensive search for renowned artists to restore the famous "Cyclorama of Jerusalem" owner George Blouin finds Stefanoff and pleads to him to restore the great work that existed since the 19th century. During these years we saw Professor Stefanoff at work, giving the new "Cyclorama of Jerusalem" a lot of himself and his great skill. Stefanoff paints 45 feet high by 125 feet long at Ste-Anne de Beaupre, Quebec. Among the scenes are; The South section of Jerusalem... the Tomb of Absalom... King Herod's beautiful white palace... the splendid residence of his wife Marianne... the castle of his brother Phasaleos. . . the palace of Hippicus. . . the country side and road leading to Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus. People, Camels, Horses. . . the group of women. . . the Tomb of Jeroboam. . . the Shepherds and he also created the striking foreground 23 ft. by 360 ft. A work of art in three dimensions. George H. Blouin, proprietor of the "Cyclorama of Jerusalem" writes: " In brief, it is a magnificent work of art. In consideration of the marvellous work, all the destroyed areas are executed exactly as they were before the destruction, and even better because of Stefanoff's touch. I hereby declare that Professor Christo Stefanoff is the most celebrated panoramic painter in the world today, with an international fame."
