Amiens Cathedral
Inspired by a two night visit to Amiens
July 14 – 16, 2023 by Henry & Wendy de Jong
Above is the link to my article “City on a Hill” about Cathedrals in the Reformed Journal. Way below is a photo gallery from visits to the cathedral during the day and a half we were there. But first some links to videos that prepared us for our visit. Click the video thumbs for a popup player.
Amiens Cathedral Light Show
A twenty-six minute video of the daily light show projected on to the face of Amiens Cathedral. The video is no substitute for the real experience – standing with a thousand people in the square on a balmy summer night in front of one of the greatest cathedrals.
Amiens Cathedral Construction Sequence
A four minute ‘timelapse’ sequence of the cathedral’s construction.
Amiens Cathedral Revelation
A much longer (18 minute) animation of situation, planning and construction of Amiens Cathedral. Produced by Columbia University. Including a beautiful fly-over dream sequence imagining the cathedral in its mediaeval setting.
Amiens Cathedral Architectural & Sculptural Program
From the Smarthistory channel, a sixteen minute tour of the architectural and sculptural program of Amiens Cathedral, with respectful and scholarly commentary.
