Chartres cathedral is perhaps the most beautiful and significant Christian artifact. Throughout the 800 years of its existence it has testified to many miracles and has lost none of its powers to inspire wonder, reverence and inspirational knowledge in those who encounter it beyond a superficial acquaintance. Others have commented on the spiritual implications of the Romanesque and Gothic styles - respectively contemplative and devotional - and Burckhardt usefully summarises and elucidates their interpretation. But he further commands our respect by his rare abililty to comment convincingly and englighteningly on the differences of 'spiritual content' of pre-Romanesque, Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. His insights in this realm are truly remarkable, his aesthetic flair being matched by a profound grasp of the intellectual vision that inspired the creative joy of the artistic productions of the Middle Ages.
