Overview
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.
