- Опубліковано 20 лют 2020
- This lyrical portrait of the Cathedral of Chartres was produced for the 1970 exhibition, “The Year 1200,” a centerpiece of The Met’s centennial celebration. Accompanied by a rich choral score, the film focuses on the dramatic architecture, stained glass, and characterful sculptures adorning the cathedral-all of it an ode to the humanistic spirit. Featuring still photography by Francis Thompson.
As part of The Met’s 150th anniversary in 2020, each month we will release three to four films from the Museum’s extensive moving-image archive, which comprises over 1,500 films, both made and collected by the Museum, from the 1920s onward. This includes rarely seen artist profiles and documentaries, as well as process films about art-making techniques and behind-the-scenes footage of the Museum.

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Solemn, beautiful, intelligent.
OK who snuck in a snap of mom in the opening numbers countdown? 🤣
Haha, very funny! Those images were actually used for color testing film.
Great video thanks for sharing.
No problem!
Creations of that sort, I feel, are a reflection of the mindset of the time. Scary on one side, yet still showing skills in architecture, masonry and glass making among many others that are skills fast disappearing in the modern age.
Scary in what manner? Uncertainty in the face of the natural world, plagues, etc.?
I'm wondering if he's referring to the religious mindset. If that's the case, I think a thousand years from now people will look at our current era in horror-if we're still around.
Excellent film
What exactly was gone from the crypt under the maze defined on the ground floor of the nave, in the time of French Revolution??
Long Live Grand Tartaria
Good.... Хорошо
please invite harry again this year !!!
One day the whole truth will come out.
Last year I ate some old Taco Bell and got the Chartres.
For some reason this video comes up every time I sign in and I have been unable to get rid of it, so--yes, I don't like this video.
Can I assume you tried clicking on the "not interested" option through the three dots to the right of the post title?
