  The Battle of Gettysburg, also known as the Gettysburg Cyclorama, is a 
cyclorama painting by the French artist Paul Philippoteaux depicting 
Pickett's Charge, the climactic Confederate attack on the Union forces 
during the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. Four versions were 
painted, two of which are among the last surviving cycloramas in the 
United States. The first version of the painting, completed in 1883 and 
originally exhibited in Chicago, was lost for some time. It was 
rediscovered in 1965 and purchased by a group of North Carolina 
investors in 2007 for an undisclosed amount.
