"But what happened to the rest of the original painting? A large portion of the original French section now hangs in another hall at the museum, which also keeps dozens of smaller fragments in its archives and exhibits the most significant ones. MacMorris threw away large portions of the canvas, but he also doled out pieces to friends and acquaintances. Some have ended up in flea markets and online, where Levitch purchased one in 2001. "I spotted it on eBay, but it was not advertised as 'Panthéon de la Guerre.' It's a very tiny fragment, about two feet tall and a foot wide," he said."
