The Fuentidueña Apse: A Journey from Castile to New York

Описание: This 28-minute documentary chronicles the dismantling of the 12th-century apse from the church of San Martín in Fuentidueña, Spain, and its reconstruction at The Cloisters, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Medieval branch, between 1958 and 1961. The film combines archival footage of the apse shot in situ, commentary by noted historians of Medieval Spain, and reminiscences 50 years later by members of the dismantling crew, to portray the history of this exquisite example of Romanesque architecture, part of a long-term loan agreement with the Spanish government.
