Reims Cathedral The Great Cathedrals of Northern France, Cross Normandy off your Bucket List in 2021! Please join us for a journey back in time to the birthplace of Gothic architecture was the north of France, particularly the northeast quarter of the country; and it is here that the finest of France's gothic cathedrals are to be found; Notre Dame de Paris, Ami- ens, Reims & Rouen. French gothic cathedrals are noted for their fine "chevets", the semi-circular ambulatory and radiating chapels located behind the choir. Chevets already existed in Romanesque cathedrals, but the architects of the great gothic cathedrals embellished them in new ways. Famous Cathedrals on the Tour: Amiens—The largest of the great French gothic cathedrals, with a height under the vault of over 40 meters. The first stone was laid in 1220. Amiens cathedral has some of the finest 13th century gothic sculpture of any cathedral in France. A UNESCO world heritage site. Reims—It was in the Notre Dame cathedral in Reims that the Kings of France used to be crowned. Reims ca- thedral remains one of the great examples of French high gothic: having suffered seriously in two world wars, it has been painstakingly restored to its original splendor. It is one of the most visited of France's great gothic cathedrals. A UNESCO world heritage site Rouen—The cathedral suffered from major damage over the centuries, including lightning strikes, structural collapses, and bombing in the WWII. It remains nevertheless one of the great French medieval gothic cathedrals and is the subject of a world-famous series of paintings by Claude Monet. Bayeux—This Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Our Lady of Bayeux is a Ro- man Catholic Church located in Normandy. A national monument and was the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry. The cathedral is in the Norman- Romanesque architectural tradition. Military Historical Tours is proud to offer another in our series of signa- No sleeping in foxholes! ture European Cultural Tours.

  • Rouen Revisited
    105 Chapter 8 Rouen Revisited 8.1 Overview This chapter describes Rouen Revisited, an interactive art installation that uses the tech- niques presented in this thesis to interpret the series of Claude Monet's paintings of the Rouen Cathe- dral in the context of the actual architecture. The chapter ®rst presents the artistic description of the work from the SIGGRAPH '96 visual proceedings, and then gives a technical description of how the artwork was created. 8.2 Artistic description This section presents the description of the Rouen Revisited art installation originally writ- ten by Golan Levin and Paul Debevec for the SIGGRAPH'96 visual proceedings and expanded for the Rouen Revisited web site. 106 Rouen Revisited Between 1892 and 1894, the French Impressionist Claude Monet produced nearly 30 oil paintings of the main facËade of the Rouen Cathedral in Normandy (see Fig. 8.1). Fascinated by the play of light and atmosphere over the Gothic church, Monet systemat- ically painted the cathedral at different times of day, from slightly different angles, and in varied weather conditions. Each painting, quickly executed, offers a glimpse into a narrow slice of time and mood. The Rouen Revisited interactive art installation aims to widen these slices, extending and connecting the dots occupied by Monet's paintings in the multidimensional space of turn-of-the-century Rouen. In Rouen Revisited, we present an interactive kiosk in which users are invited to explore the facËade of the Rouen Cathedral, as Monet might have painted it, from any angle, time of day, and degree of atmospheric haze.

  • The Digital Nature of Gothic
    The Digital Nature of Gothic Lars Spuybroek Ruskin’s The Nature of Gothic is inarguably the best-known book on Gothic architecture ever published; argumentative, persuasive, passionate, it’s a text influential enough to have empowered a whole movement, which Ruskin distanced himself from on more than one occasion. Strangely enough, given that the chapter we are speaking of is the most important in the second volume of The Stones of Venice, it has nothing to do with the Venetian Gothic at all. Rather, it discusses a northern Gothic with which Ruskin himself had an ambiguous relationship all his life, sometimes calling it the noblest form of Gothic, sometimes the lowest, depending on which detail, transept or portal he was looking at. These are some of the reasons why this chapter has so often been published separately in book form, becoming a mini-bible for all true believers, among them William Morris, who wrote the introduction for the book when he published it First Page of John Ruskin’s “The with his own Kelmscott Press. It is a precious little book, made with so much love and Nature of Gothic: a chapter of The Stones of Venice” (Kelmscott care that one hardly dares read it. Press, 1892). Like its theoretical number-one enemy, classicism, the Gothic has protagonists who write like partisans in an especially ferocious army. They are not your usual historians – the Gothic hasn’t been able to attract a significant number of the best historians; it has no Gombrich, Wölfflin or Wittkower, nobody of such caliber – but a series of hybrid and atypical historians such as Pugin and Worringer who have tried again and again, like Ruskin, to create a Gothic for the present, in whatever form: revivalist, expressionist, or, as in my case, digitalist, if that is a word.

  • Laon Cathedral • Early Gothic Example with a Plan That Resembles Romanesque
    Gothic Art • The Gothic period dates from the 12th and 13th century. • The term Gothic was a negative term first used by historians because it was believed that the barbaric Goths were responsible for the style of this period. Gothic Architecture The Gothic period began with the construction of the choir at St. Denis by the Abbot Suger. • Pointed arch allowed for added height. • Ribbed vaulting added skeletal structure and allowed for the use of larger stained glass windows. • The exterior walls are no longer so thick and massive.

  • 14 Pierrepont at a Crossroads of Literatures
    14 Pierrepont at a crossroads of literatures An instructive parallel between the first branch of the Karlamagnús Saga, the Dutch Renout and the Dutch Flovent Abstract: In the French original of the first branch of the Karlamagnús Saga [= fKMSI], in the Dutch Renout and in the Dutch Flovent – three early 13th century texts from present-day Bel- gium – a toponym Pierrepont plays a conspicous part (absent, however, from the French models of Renout and Flovent); fKMSI and Renout even have in common a triangle ‘Aimon, vassal of Charlemagne – Aie, his wife – Pierrepont, their residence’. The toponym is shown to mean Pierrepont (Aisne) near Laon in all three texts. In fKMSI, it is due almost certainly to the intervention of one of two Bishops of Liège (1200−1238) from the Pierrepont family, and in the other two texts to a similar cause. Consequently, for fKMSI a date ‘before 1240’ is proposed. According to van den Berg,1 the Middle Dutch Flovent, of which only two frag- ments are preserved,2 was probably written by a Fleming (through copied by a Brabantian) and can very roughly be dated ‘around 1200’ on the basis of its verse technique and syntax. In this text, Pierrepont plays a conspicuous part without appearing in the French original.3 In the first fragment, we learn that King Clovis is being besieged in Laon by a huge pagan army (vv. 190 ss.). To protect their rear, the pagans build a castle at a distance of four [presumably French] miles [~18 km] from Laon. Its name will be Pierlepont (vv.
