BBC Civilisation 03of13 HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup 1969

Re-mastered version converted from the original 35mm film to BluRay and recently broadcast on BBC HD.

In 1966 BBC Television embarked on its most ambitious documentary series to date. The eminent art
historian Lord Clark was commissioned to write and present an epic examination of Western European
culture, defining what he considered to be the crucial phases of its development. Civilisation: A
Personal View by Lord Clark would be more than two years in the making, with filming in over 100
locations across 13 countries. The lavish series was hailed as a masterpiece when it was first
transmitted in 1969.

From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, Clark's compelling
narrative is accompanied by breathtaking colour photography of Europe's greatest landmarks. This
'history of ideas as illustrated by art and music' remains the benchmark for the numerous programmes
it inspired.

Part 3. Romance and Reality
Sir Kenneth Clark journeys from the Loire through Tuscany and Umbria to the cathedral at Pisa, as he
explores the aspirations of the later Middle Ages in France and Italy.
