This is Asisi's depiction of the main square in Wittenberg. In the distance one sees St. Mary's Church where Martin Luther, once an Augustinian monk, frequently preached and married Katherine von Bora, who was once a nun, in 1525. The Tudor style architecture seen here characterizes many cities in Germany to this day.

Asisi, the Austrian-born artist who was raised in the Saxony region of Germany, has been creating the biggest panoramas in the world since 2003.

This particular medium brings together photography and painting. The artist used digital image processing to do this and the panoramas offer a "three-dimensional effect of a 1 to 1 simulation," and can be viewed as a "hyper-realistic artistic space," according to nearby exhibits.
