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 7 Grandeur and Obedience** Kenneth Clark visits Rome in search of grandeur and finds a city that gave rise to Michelangelo, Bernini and the Counter Reformation - a movement which, in its struggle against the Protestant North, developed a new splendour, symbolised by the glory of St Peter's. ==See Also== [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dtjbv|BBC Site]] ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, {{ youtube> }} \\ ==Full Version== \\ ,,The availability of this link might be uncertain!,,\\ ,,Full version is available upon request.,, \\ {{ youtube>5E7xzxySCb0 }} \\ \\ \\ {{tag>FHD History Civilisation Culture Roman_Empire Industrial_Revolution Dark_Ages Byzantine Celts Hebrides Viking Charlemagne Europe BBC SER BBC_-_Civilisation_(1969) FF 1969 ar01/22 Name}} \\
