EL PANORAMA DE MÉXICO DE BULLOCK/BURFORD, 1823-1864: HISTORIA DE UNA PINTURA
2010
Overview
William Bullock (1773-1849) tiene un lugar destacado en la historia museográfica. Reunió una amplia colección de historia natural que exhibió, junto con una miríada de otros artefactos de alrededor del mundo, en su Sala Egipcia, el museo que construyó especialmente para ello en la calle de Piccadilly en Londres. En 1823, acompañado por su hijo William, pasó seis meses en México. William hijo hizo bosquejos detallados de la ciudad de México, que entonces era la ciudad más grande del hemisferio americano. Estos bosquejos fueron la base de una pintura panorámica de unos 250 m2, diseñada para desplegarse en una rotonda de 360°. El presente trabajo rastrea la historia de esta pintura y revela por primera vez sus orígenes, propiedad, viajes, dónde y cuándo se exhibió en Europa y Estados Unidos, y su destino final en el Panorama Burford en el Leicester Square de Londres. William Bullock (1773-1849) has a prominent place in museum history. He assembled a vast natural history collection which, together with a myriad of other artifacts from around the world, he displayed in the Egyptian Hall, his specially constructed museum in London's Piccadilly. In 1823, accompanied by his son, also William, he spent six months in Mexico. William Jun. made detailed sketches of Mexico City, then the largest city in the American hemisphere. These drawings became the basis of a panoramic painting covering some 2700 square feet of canvas and designed to be displayed in a 360 degree rotunda. This work traces the history of the painting, revealing for the first time its origins, ownership, travels, where and when it was exhibited in Europe and the United States, and its final destination at Burford's Panorama in Leicester Square.
