What is the largest ever framed water colour painting?

I can't be sure, but Alexander Creswell, who works in the tradition of 18th-century classicizing architectural painters, must be getting close with some of his works: http://www.hirschlandadler.com/exhibitions_1.html?type=text&id=1321 Jul 17 07, 8:48 PM

Alexander Creswell's largest painting is "The Roman Forum and the Arch of Septimius Severus," measuring five feet by nine feet. http://www.antiquesandfineart.com/dealers/item.cfm?id=259&pid=8654&pg=3 This page has a good photograph of it hanging in a small Manhattan dining room. Be sure to click to enlarge. http://www.alexandercreswell.net/indexwo.asp?txtsrch=%25&page=2 The largest oil painting I've ever seen was Jan Styka's forty-five by one hundred ninety-five foot "The Crucifixion" in Glendale, CA. I'm not at all sure that the canvas is one piece, though. The presentation, with lighting, music, and narration, was scary for my three-year-old. http://www.artinfo.com/articles/story/860/Massive_Religious_Painting_in_California_gets_Face_Lift Jul 18 07, 5:45 PM
