Scheveningen village on Panorama Mesdag

Panorama Mesdag is a cylindrical painting by Hendrik Willem Mesdag, one famous painter of The Hague School. The picture is more than 14 meters high and 120 meters in circumference. It shows the view of the sea, the dunes and Scheveningen village. It is the oldest 19th century panorama in the world in its original site in The Hague. The sense of reality cast by the 360-degree image of Scheveningen in 1881 is amazing.
