Construction began in 1163, under Louis VII of France. The foundation stone of the cathedral was laid by Bishop Maurice de Sully or Pope Alexander III. By 1250, the construction of the cathedral was basically completed, and in 1315 the interior decoration was also completed. The main creators of Notre Dame are two architects - Jean de Chelle and Pierre de Montreuil (creator of St. Chapel). During the construction of the cathedral, many different architects took part in it, as evidenced by the different style and different heights of the western side and towers. The towers were completed in 1245 and the entire cathedral in 1345.

slide number 5

Description of the slide:

The cathedral, with its splendid interior decoration, has served for many centuries as a venue for royal weddings, imperial coronations and national funerals. In 1302, the Estates General, the first parliament of France, met for the first time. There are no wall paintings here, and the only source of color is the numerous stained-glass windows of the tall lancet windows. During the time of Louis XIV, at the end of the 17th century, the cathedral underwent serious changes: the graves and stained-glass windows were destroyed.

Description of the slide:

During the French Revolution, at the end of the 18th century, one of the first decrees of Robespierre was announced that if the Parisians do not want "the stronghold of obscurantism to be demolished", then they must pay a bribe to the Convention "for the needs of all revolutions that will happen with our help in other countries". The cathedral was declared the Temple of Reason. In July 1793, the Convention declared that "all emblems of all kingdoms must be wiped off the face of the earth", and Robespierre personally ordered the beheading of "the stone kings who adorn the churches." The cathedral was returned to the church and re-consecrated in 1802, under Napoleon.

Description of the slide:

In 1831, Victor Hugo published the novel Notre Dame Cathedral, writing in the preface: "One of my chief aims is to inspire the nation with love for our architecture." Restoration began in 1841 under the supervision of the architect Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879). The restoration of the building and sculptures, the replacement of broken statues and the construction of the famous spire lasted 23 years. Viollet-le-Duc also came up with the idea of ​​a gallery of chimeras on the facade of the cathedral. Statues of chimeras are installed on the upper platform at the foot of the towers. In the same years, the buildings adjacent to the cathedral were demolished, as a result of which the current square was formed in front of its facade.

slide number 8

Description of the slide:

The main facade of the cathedral has three doors. Above the three lancet portals of the entrances there are sculptural groups with different episodes from the Gospel. An image of the Last Judgment is placed above the central entrance. Seven statues each support the entrance arches. In the center is Christ the Judge. The lower lintel depicts the dead rising from their graves. They were awakened by two angels with trumpets. Among the dead - one king, one pope, warriors and women (symbolizes the presence at the Last Judgment of all mankind). On the top tympanum - Christ and two angels on both sides.

slide number 9

Description of the slide:

The doors are decorated with wrought iron reliefs. The roof of the cathedral is made of lead tiles 5 mm thick and the weight of the entire roof is 210 tons. The upper part of the cathedral is decorated with images of gargoyles (protruding ends of the beams, decorated with muzzles fantasy creatures) and chimeras (these are separate statues of fantastic creatures). In the Middle Ages, there were no chimeras at the cathedral. To put them, taking medieval gargoyles as a model, was invented by the restorer - the architect Viollet-le-Duc. Fifteen sculptors, led by Geoffroy Deschomets, completed them.

slide number 10

Description of the slide:

These figures represent the soul of Notre Dame, its various selves: pensive, melancholic, observant, mocking, spiteful, self-absorbed. Satyr - a chimera with a human body - looks intimidating. On closer examination, hair on the back and an inhuman facial expression are noticeable.

Description of the slide:

The oak, lead-covered spire of the cathedral (added by the restorer instead of dismantled in 1786) has a height of 96 meters. The base of the spire is surrounded by four groups of bronze statues of the apostles (the work of Geoffroy Deschaumes). In front of each group is an animal, the symbol of the evangelist: the lion is the symbol of Mark, the bull is Luke, the eagle is John and the angel is Matthew. All statues face Paris, except for St. Thomas, the patron saint of architects, who faces the spire.

Description of the slide:

A significant part of the stained-glass windows was made in the middle of the 19th century. The main stained-glass window - a rose above the entrance to the cathedral - is partially authentic, preserved from the Middle Ages (9.6 meters in diameter). In the center of her Mother of God, around - seasonal rural work, zodiac signs, virtues and sins. Two side roses on the north and south facades of the cathedral are 13 meters in diameter (the largest in Europe). During the restoration, the stained-glass windows of the windows were initially supposed to be white, but Prosper Merimee insisted that they be made similar to medieval ones. There are very few genuine stained glass windows in Notre Dame Cathedral. Almost all of them are the latest works, replacing those broken and damaged over a long history. Only the rose window has remained intact to this day.

Description of the slide:

The big bell (sounding in F-sharp tone) rings very rarely. The rest of the bells ring at 8 and 19 hours. Each of them has its own name: Angelique Franςoise, weighing 1765 kg (C sharp); Antoinette Charlotte, weighing 1158 kg (D sharp); Hyacinthe Jeanne, weighing 813 kg (fa); Denise David, weighing 670 kg (F sharp). An unusual sound is given by a 6-ton bell hanging in the right tower of the cathedral. It is said that it owes its pure and expressive sound to gold and silver. When the bell, presented to the cathedral in 1400, was cast in bronze, Parisian women threw their precious jewelry into the molten mass. This bell is said to have been struck by Quasimodo. However, it is precisely according to legend that no strongman can swing it alone.

Description of the slide:

Legends of Notre Dame Cathedral It is said that medieval alchemists encoded the secret of the philosopher's stone into the geometry of Notre Dame. Fulcanelli saw many alchemical symbols in the architectural decoration of the cathedral. Another legend is about the blacksmith devil. The gates of Notre Dame are decorated with a wonderful pattern of wrought iron with equally amazing iron locks. Forging them was entrusted to a blacksmith named Biskorn. When the blacksmith heard that he would need to forge figured locks and patterns for the gates of the most beautiful cathedral in Paris, he was frightened in earnest. Thinking that he would never be able to cope with this, he tried to call on the help of the devil.

slide number 21

Description of the slide:

The next day, when the canon of Notre Dame came to look at the work, he found the blacksmith unconscious, but in the forge he saw a real masterpiece: curly locks, overhead forged patterns, which were openwork intertwining leaves. On the day when the gate decoration was finished and the locks were cut in, the gate was impossible to open! I had to sprinkle them with holy water. Biskorn, stung by remorse, grew sad, became silent, and soon died. He took his secret with him, never revealing it - either out of fear that the secret would be stolen, or fearing that it would turn out that no one saw how he forged the gates of Notre Dame ...

In the second half of the XII century. in the western part of the Parisian island of Cité, a grandiose construction began, which was destined to open a new chapter in the history of world architecture. The most famous example of the Gothic style was Notre Dame Cathedral.

Cathedral of Notre Dame

slide 2

The cathedral shows a duality of stylistic influences: on the one hand, there are echoes of the Romanesque style of Normandy with its characteristic powerful and dense unity, and on the other hand, innovative architectural achievements of the Gothic style are used, which give the building lightness and give the impression of simplicity of vertical construction. The height of the cathedral is 35 m, the length is 130 m, the width is 48 m, the height of the bell towers is 69 m, the weight of the Emmanuel bell in the eastern tower is 13 tons, its tongue is 500 kg.

slide 3

Designed in the form of a cross, the cathedral is divided into five longitudinal parts - naves and has several facades. Two towers rise above the western one, with which, as a rule, the cathedral is associated with every mention. The spire, raised to a height of 32 m, gives extraordinary elegance. In the central part, the facade is decorated with an openwork rose window.

slide 4

In the Middle Ages, the cathedral was traditionally considered the center of urban life. In addition to divine services, performances, city meetings, magnificent coronations also took place there.

slide 5

An indescribable feeling leaves a visit to the interior of the basilica, decorated with numerous sculptures and reliefs. Biblical and gospel motifs, heroes and simple characters, signs of the zodiac and allegories for human vices and virtues are easily guessed here. It is impossible to ignore the fantastic and real images of animals and plants of the carved ornament.

slide 6

Construction began in 1163, under Louis VII of France. Historians disagree on who exactly laid the foundation stone of the cathedral - Bishop Maurice de Sully or Pope Alexander III. The main altar of the cathedral was consecrated in May 1182, by 1196 the nave of the building was almost completed, work continued only on the main facade. By 1250, the construction of the cathedral was basically completed, and in 1315, the interior decoration was also completed. Construction of the western pediment, with its distinctive two towers, began around 1200.

Slide 7

The feeling of monumentality, the stopping of life is destroyed by streams of sunlight through the most wonderful stained-glass windows on the windows, made of small pieces of colored glass in metal binding. The interior solution of the temple does not have the impression of heaviness at all: the support of the building is reinforced by giant external pillars, transverse walls and sloping semi-arches, special lightness is created due to the huge size of the windows. The original architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral has made it the main attraction of the French capital for many centuries.

The first large organ was installed in the cathedral in 1402. For these purposes, they used an old organ placed in a new Gothic building. Such an instrument could not sound the huge space of the cathedral, so in 1730 Francois-Henri Clicquot completed its completion. The instrument consisted of 46 registers located on five manuals. During its construction, most of the pipes of the original instrument were used, 12 of which have survived to this day. The organ also acquired its current building with a Louis XVI style façade.
