Toàn cảnh

/ˌpænəˈrɑːmə//ˌpænəˈræmə/

The origin of the word "panorama" can be traced back to the early 19th century when a painter named John Robert Panchal opened the first company to create large-scale, 360-degree paintings. The word "panorama" arrived from combining two Greek words, "pan," meaning all or everything, and "horam," meaning sight or view. The painting technique revolutionized the way art was experienced, as it allowed viewers to feel as if they were in the midst of a scene, rather than just looking at it from a distance. The popularity of panoramic paintings led to the creation of panoramic rooms, which were large cylindrical structures that would house the paintings, providing an immersive experience for viewers as they walked around the circumference of the room. The term "panorama" has since expanded to describe any type of all-encompassing view, such as a panoramic photograph or video. Overall, the combination of "pan" and "horam" succinctly describes the essence of a panorama: a sight that offers a comprehensive view of all that is within the horizon.
