The Queen's Pawn

Concert at the Cloisters

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 | The Queen's Pawn, The Writing Life | No Comments

I love going to the Cloisters…a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that houses a large part of the museum’s medieval collection. It is a journey to get there…at least half an hour by subway from the Upper West Side, but the trip is worth it. The collection is beautiful.

This Sunday I went uptown to Ft Tryon and the Cloisters not just to view the art but to hear a concert by the Boston Camerata on the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdelene. Though Eleanor is not particularly religious ( in my novels, at least) Princess Alais iv VERY religious, and particularly devoted to the Holy Mother, or the Virgin Mary. So throughout this concert I thought of Alais, and of how much she would have enjoyed it. I know I did.

Here is my last segment of video from the Louvre in Paris…the interior of Philippe Auguste’s Louvre…sadly it is too dark to see much, but you can see some beautiful capitals and stonework…
