From martyr to monument : the Abbey of Cluny as cultural patrimony

After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the monastic orders, the great Abbey of Cluny in France was closed and the buildings were sold for materials. This process went on for nearly thirty years, just as a romantic appreciation of the medieval.

  • "After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the monastic orders, the great Abbey of Cluny in France was closed and the buildings were sold for materials. One transept arm with a large and small tower was saved from ruin, along with a few small Gothic buildings and the eighteenth-century cloister. In 1927, Kenneth Conant came from Harvard to excavate the site in order to prepare full-scale reconstructive drawings of the abbey. Conant's vision of medieval Cluny entered the art-historical canon and placed Cluny at the center of debates about Romanesque architecture and sculptural decoration in Europe. This study follows the discursive history of the site while investigating the role of memory in the construction of the past and the development of the conception of heritage and patrimony in France.--From publisher description."
