Wells Cathedral in Somerset, UK, is often considered one of the finest Gothic structures in Europe, and certainly amongst the most beautiful. Described as the "most poetic" of English cathedrals, it has an artistic unity and flair only seen in a select few buildings.
The West Front at Wells is a masterpiece in its own right, being 145 feet wide and 100 feet high to the top of the gable. It contains several hundred statue niches, of varying sizes, and was described by Alec Clifton-Taylor as "one of the great sights of England". The western towers framing the facade are 124 feet high.

Exhibit: "The Fish" (1890) leaded stained and opalescent glass
Artist: John LaFarge (1835-1910) American
MFA info: This stunning stained glass window, "The Fish" (or: "The Fish and Flowering Branch") was created by John La Farge about 1890. He made it for his son, Grant La Farge, to give as a gift to Gordon Abbott of Manchester, Massachusetts. John La Farge's most important contribution to the art of stained glass was his use of opalescent glass in multiple layers to create variegated hues and dramatic effects of depth. Unlike traditional stained glass, in which the artist painted the flat surface to render details and shading, La Farge's windows achieve the effects of shading and three-dimensionality through the layering and shaping of the glass itself. For greater textural effect, he often used an outer layer that had a corrugated appearance produced by compressing or stamping sheets of hot glass.
The mid-nineteenth-century Gothic Revival, which sparked an interest in medieval arts, and the Aesthetic Movement of the 1870s and 1880s, which emphasized artistic unity in interior decoration, both popularized and secularized stained glass and elevated its importance as an art form. Although the majority of stained glass used in the United States was imported from England and made in a traditional manner, American artists John La Farge and Louis Comfort Tiffany separately, yet simultaneously, experimented with new techniques and designs that offered remarkable, unconventional qualities of texture and color.

Hall of Fame and Bavaria at the Theresienwiese
The Hall of Fame and Bavaria form the most famous landmarks on the edge of the Theresienwiese and are well worth a visit.
The Hall of Fame and Bavaria form on the Theresien height an ensemble in style of the ancient Acropolis in Athens, which was commissioned by King Ludwig I there. Together with his architect Leo von Klenze King Ludwig I shaped the cityscape of Munich like no other. He was a friend of the monasteries and the academic spirit, and he turned his attention to painting and poetry.
As crown prince Ludwig after the death of his father in 1825 took over the throne of Bavaria he was already dreaming of his "Athens on the Isar" with monumental squares and buildings. Whereas his childhood and youth was influenced by the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic wars, as crown prince he longed for a "Bavarian of all tribes" and a "bigger German nation." In this phase, Ludwig was planning a patriotic monument in the capital city of Munich and for this purpose he already in 1809 by historian Lorenz Westenrieder he had made a list of famous Bavarian representatives of all classes and professions. Approximately 20 years later this list was on his behalf by his Interior Minister Eduard von Schenk - in the meantime Ludwig was King of Bavaria - renewed and expanded.
For the tender for a Hall of Fame above the Theresienwiese with space for 200 busts King Ludwig I invited the best and most prestigious builders of those times:
Friedrich von Gärtner,
Leo von Klenze,
Joseph Daniel Ohlmüller and
Georg Friedrich Ziebland.
Hall of Fame after the scetch of Leo von Klenze
Design by Leo von Klenze
As the court master builder of that time of the king, Leo von Klenze had significant advantages because he on the one hand with the wishes of his client was very familiar and on the other hand also could examine the designs of its competitors in detail. Therefore, it is not surprising that the design of Klenze won the tender of the Hall of Fame in March 1834. He planned the Hall of Fame with a Doric portico in the background and a colossal statue in the foreground.
The construction of the Hall of Fame in the years 1843-1853 actually took place according to the planning of Klenze. After completion of the Hall of Fame, in 1853 the busts of 74 especially venerable Bavarians were set up, in 1868 another 10 were added. The bust of King Ludwig I was only in 1888 in the Hall of Fame erected to commemorate his 100th birthday and supplemented with the following inscription:
"To King Ludwig I to celebrate his 100th birthday, the grateful Munich."
The Hall of Fame itself is 68 meters long, 32 meters wide and stands on a 4.3 meter high pedestal. The roof is supported by the back wall and 48 Doric columns that have a height of about 7 meters and a diameter of 1.25 meters.
Since the Hall of Fame and the in it set up busts in 1944 during an air raid in WW2 were severely damaged, it was not until 1966 when the Bavarian Council of Ministers decided the reconstruction of the Hall of Fame and the continuation of honouring of Bavarian personalities by setting up of their busts. The renovation was completed in 1972 and the Hall of Fame on 26 October 1972 with the preserved and renovated busts could be reopened.
For the selection of the personalities the Bavarian Council of Ministers is responsible, which is advised by a committee of experts from the Bavarian Ministry of Culture, the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, the Bavarian Palace Department, the House of Bavarian History, the Bavarian Ministry of Finance and the LMU (Ludwig Maximilian University).
Bavaria © 2009 Bavaria
The colossal statue of Bavaria forms an artistic unity with the Hall of Fame in the background. The first sketches of Bavaria von Klenze already in his design of the whole ensemble on the model of ancient colossal statues of antiquity had produced. It was modeled after the Colossus of Rhodes, the statue of Zeus of Phidias and especially the Athena Parthenos. Theoretically, it is even possible that a part of the bronze for the Bavaria was once part of the Colossus of Rhodes. After Klenze was awarded the contract for the construction of the ensemble consisting of Hall of Fame and Bavaria, he made more sketches on the Greek model.
Since the statue should be cast according to both of Klenze`s ideas and Ludwig`s wishes in bronze, he included the sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler, the ore caster Johann Baptist Stiglmaier as well as whose nephew Ferdinand von Miller in the further design and manufacture of the Bavaria statue. While Schwanthaler with his first sketches still held to the classical model in the sense of Klenze, he gave the statue in the further course of his designs increasingly a "Germanic" appearance with typical "German" character. The head and the raised hand he adorned with a wreath of oak and at her side appeared the drawn sword as a sign of her ability to defend herself. At her feet placed Schwanthaler a lion, that always have served as heraldic animal of the Wittelsbach.
The manufacturing of the final designs for the Bavaria statue followed in the years 1839 to 1843. Schwanthaler however the beginning of the foundry did not live because he shortly before that died in April 1844. As first thing, the head of Bavaria was cast in September 1844, in January and March 1845 followed the arms, on 11 October 1845, the breast piece. The last major casting for the bottom part took place on 1 December 1849. The erection and unveiling of Bavaria occurred during Oktoberfest (Munich Beer Festival) 1850. The cost for the production of the statue Ludwig after his abdication as king of Bavaria on 20 March 1848 largely paid from private sources. A special feature of Bavaria is the spiral staircase in its interior, where you can climb up into her head to enjoy from there an incomparable view of the Oktoberfest.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by B.F. and printed by Catala Frères of Paris.
Amiens
Amiens is the chief city of Picardy, in the valley of the River Somme, and is just over 100 km north of Paris.
Amiens Cathedral
The Gothic Cathedral of our Lady of Amiens is the tallest complete cathedral in France, with the greatest interior volume (estimated at 200,000 cubic metres).
According to this estimate, the cathedral could comfortably accommodate well over sixty billion marbles. (Yes, billion, not million!) This number of marbles, laid end to end, would produce a line 900,000 km long - it would encircle the earth 22 times, or stretch to the moon and back nearly two and a half times. It's a big building!
The vaults of the nave are 42.3 metres high, and the curved central entrance arch is over 50 feet (15.24 m) high.
Work on the cathedral started in 1220 and was mostly finished by 1266. The floors include a number of designs, including a swastika. The labyrinth was installed in 1288.
The cathedral contains what is alleged to be the head of St. John the Baptist, a relic brought back from Constantinople.
You can find out what happened to one of his fingers by searching for the tag 65SJD88. There are bits of him all over the place! In fact the Great Mosque in Damascus also claims to hold the head of John the Baptist.
The West Front of the Cathedral
The west front of the cathedral was built between 1220 and 1236. It shows an unusual degree of artistic unity. Its lower tier with 3 vast deep porches is capped with a gallery of larger than life-size kings which stretches across the entire façade beneath the rose window.
The immense rose window has a diameter of 43 feet (13 m).
Above the rose window is an open arcade - the Galerie des Sonneurs. A sonneur is a player of traditional music, primarily in Brittany, typically playing a clarinet or the Breton bagpipe.
John Buchan
In the 1919 book Mr. Standfast by John Buchan (1875-1940), the character Richard Hannay describes the cathedral as being:
"The noblest church that the
hand of man ever built for God".

The Postcard
A pre-WW1 high-definition image of the portals of Amiens Cathedral on a card published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris.
The card was sent via the British Army Postal Service on Friday the 20th. November 1914 by a soldier named Bert to his mother and brother Kenneth. He has tried to censor the location of the card using a purple pencil with which British soldiers on the Western Front were issued.
The British Army Postal Service
During the Great War, the British Army Postal Service despatched over two billion letters and cards. Assuming an average length of 6 inches, if they were laid end to end they would stretch for 189,394 miles (304,800km) - that's over seven and a half times round the Earth's equator.
The Great War lasted for 1,567 days, therefore the Postal Service were kept busy handling an average of over 1¼ million pieces of mail every day of the war's duration.
Amiens Cathedral
You get some idea of the huge size of the pointed arches when you realise that entry into the cathedral is gained not by the tall doors, but by the much smaller doors inset into them. The curved central arch is over 50 feet (15.24m) high.

The immense rose window has a diameter of 43 feet (13m).
Above the rose window is an open arcade - the Galerie des Sonneurs. A sonneur is a player of traditional music, primarily in Brittany, typically playing a clarinet or the Breton bagpipe.
-- John Buchan
In the 1919 book Mr. Standfast by John Buchan (1875-1940), the character Richard Hannay describes the cathedral as being:
"The noblest church that the
hand of man ever built for God".

Hall of Fame and Bavaria at the Theresienwiese
The Hall of Fame and Bavaria form the most famous landmarks on the edge of the Theresienwiese and are well worth a visit.
The Hall of Fame and Bavaria form on the Theresien height an ensemble in style of the ancient Acropolis in Athens, which was commissioned by King Ludwig I there. Together with his architect Leo von Klenze King Ludwig I shaped the cityscape of Munich like no other. He was a friend of the monasteries and the academic spirit, and he turned his attention to painting and poetry.
As crown prince Ludwig after the death of his father in 1825 took over the throne of Bavaria he was already dreaming of his "Athens on the Isar" with monumental squares and buildings. Whereas his childhood and youth was influenced by the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic wars, as crown prince he longed for a "Bavarian of all tribes" and a "bigger German nation." In this phase, Ludwig was planning a patriotic monument in the capital city of Munich and for this purpose he already in 1809 by historian Lorenz Westenrieder he had made a list of famous Bavarian representatives of all classes and professions. Approximately 20 years later this list was on his behalf by his Interior Minister Eduard von Schenk - in the meantime Ludwig was King of Bavaria - renewed and expanded.
For the tender for a Hall of Fame above the Theresienwiese with space for 200 busts King Ludwig I invited the best and most prestigious builders of those times:
Friedrich von Gärtner,
Leo von Klenze,
Joseph Daniel Ohlmüller and
Georg Friedrich Ziebland.
Hall of Fame after the scetch of Leo von Klenze
Design by Leo von Klenze
As the court master builder of that time of the king, Leo von Klenze had significant advantages because he on the one hand with the wishes of his client was very familiar and on the other hand also could examine the designs of its competitors in detail. Therefore, it is not surprising that the design of Klenze won the tender of the Hall of Fame in March 1834. He planned the Hall of Fame with a Doric portico in the background and a colossal statue in the foreground.
The construction of the Hall of Fame in the years 1843-1853 actually took place according to the planning of Klenze. After completion of the Hall of Fame, in 1853 the busts of 74 especially venerable Bavarians were set up, in 1868 another 10 were added. The bust of King Ludwig I was only in 1888 in the Hall of Fame erected to commemorate his 100th birthday and supplemented with the following inscription:
"To King Ludwig I to celebrate his 100th birthday, the grateful Munich."
The Hall of Fame itself is 68 meters long, 32 meters wide and stands on a 4.3 meter high pedestal. The roof is supported by the back wall and 48 Doric columns that have a height of about 7 meters and a diameter of 1.25 meters.
Since the Hall of Fame and the in it set up busts in 1944 during an air raid in WW2 were severely damaged, it was not until 1966 when the Bavarian Council of Ministers decided the reconstruction of the Hall of Fame and the continuation of honouring of Bavarian personalities by setting up of their busts. The renovation was completed in 1972 and the Hall of Fame on 26 October 1972 with the preserved and renovated busts could be reopened.
For the selection of the personalities the Bavarian Council of Ministers is responsible, which is advised by a committee of experts from the Bavarian Ministry of Culture, the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, the Bavarian Palace Department, the House of Bavarian History, the Bavarian Ministry of Finance and the LMU (Ludwig Maximilian University).

The colossal statue of Bavaria forms an artistic unity with the Hall of Fame in the background. The first sketches of Bavaria von Klenze already in his design of the whole ensemble on the model of ancient colossal statues of antiquity had produced. It was modeled after the Colossus of Rhodes, the statue of Zeus of Phidias and especially the Athena Parthenos. Theoretically, it is even possible that a part of the bronze for the Bavaria was once part of the Colossus of Rhodes. After Klenze was awarded the contract for the construction of the ensemble consisting of Hall of Fame and Bavaria, he made more sketches on the Greek model.
Since the statue should be cast according to both of Klenze`s ideas and Ludwig`s wishes in bronze, he included the sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler, the ore caster Johann Baptist Stiglmaier as well as whose nephew Ferdinand von Miller in the further design and manufacture of the Bavaria statue. While Schwanthaler with his first sketches still held to the classical model in the sense of Klenze, he gave the statue in the further course of his designs increasingly a "Germanic" appearance with typical "German" character. The head and the raised hand he adorned with a wreath of oak and at her side appeared the drawn sword as a sign of her ability to defend herself. At her feet placed Schwanthaler a lion, that always have served as heraldic animal of the Wittelsbach.
The manufacturing of the final designs for the Bavaria statue followed in the years 1839 to 1843. Schwanthaler however the beginning of the foundry did not live because he shortly before that died in April 1844. As first thing, the head of Bavaria was cast in September 1844, in January and March 1845 followed the arms, on 11 October 1845, the breast piece. The last major casting for the bottom part took place on 1 December 1849. The erection and unveiling of Bavaria occurred during Oktoberfest (Munich Beer Festival) 1850. The cost for the production of the statue Ludwig after his abdication as king of Bavaria on 20 March 1848 largely paid from private sources. A special feature of Bavaria is the spiral staircase in its interior, where you can climb up into her head to enjoy from there an incomparable view of the Oktoberfest.
