The Vatican Museums

Originally produced in 1997 on the threshold of the Third Millennium of the Christian Era, and in celebration of the Jubilee of the Year of Our Lord 2000, The Vatican Musuems was the culmination of three years of research and filming, the collaboration of thirty-two scholars and historians from around the world, a crew of forty directors of photography, operators, and lighting technicians, state-of-the-art digital cinematography, lighting, animation, and computerized editing, and the work of a famous composer with original performances by master musicians.

Now available on DVD for the first time, this historic three-disc collection features seven hours of magnificent documentary film that illuminates and chronicles the great journey of the human spirit. Here then is the world\\\'s most spectacular and sacred repository of art, history, and faith.

Reviews

\\\"This three-disc set (five chapters per disc) introduces the Vatican Museums, discusses the origins of Christian art, and views Vatican City artwork (Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Etruscan). The Sistine Chapel, Raphael rooms, Loggia, Ethnological Museum, Apostolic Palace, Historical Museum at St. John Lateran, and Great Basilica are among the toured sites. An overview of the respective museum accompanies information on the various artworks found within each... the visual transitions and music choices are exceptional, and the extensive coverage offers viewers an important visual record of extraordinary artworks. Suggested for large public library art history and travel collections.\\\" —Booklist

\\\"Although a visit to Vatican City would be a wonderful experience, this ambitious and handsomely packaged 8-volume roam through the city\\\'s museums and buildings is a) much less expensive than a real trip, b) offers a guided tour, and c) uses supporting contextual footage not found in your Fodor (print) handbook. We watched the sixth volume, \\\"The Ethnological Museum & The Picture Gallery,\\\" which featured a host of well-known (and lesser known) artworks chronicling, in essence, the pictorial history of Christianity, as well as a fascinating overview of religion in non-European cultures (examining death rites, conceptions of deities, and worship habits). As the program traces the early seeds of Christianity in these colonized countries, the artistic artifacts shown (initially, copies of European Christian symbolism) gradually give way to indigenous interpretations of Christianity. In one notable and symbolically complex example, we see a beautifully carved crucifix which depicts Christ bound to a cross comprised of African slaves. A thought-provoking series, this is sure to be quite popular in both academic and general collections. Three Stars.\\\" - Video Librarian
