You have seen the great organ of Saint-Louis cathedral here. This is (a detail of) the great organ of Notre-Dame (Our Lady) de Versailles church. It was made between 1687 and 1691 by Julien Tribuot.
Vous avez vu le grand orgue de la cathédrale Saint-Louis ici. Voici un détail du grand orgue de Notre-Dame de Versailles, manufacturé entre 1687 et 1691 par Julien Tribuot.
Very impressive! A work of art.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I love being able to see the detail in this shot!! Thanks!! Hope your week is going well, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear this in action, beautiful musical instrument and photograph! (oh, to answer your question, yes satsumas would be the one item our farms haven't figured out yet:)...though it didn't stop an old neighbor from making a pretty successful attempt last year!)
ReplyDeleteIs the clock
ReplyDeleteI meant to say is the clock for the organist to keep time?
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful, but sadly things don't seem to be made with the same sense of artistic sensibility that they once were.
ReplyDeleteThe clock is so unusual! What is the sound of time passing?
ReplyDeleteThis clock is so chic! :)

Il manque à la pendule l'aiguille des secondes pour battre la mesure...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Great shot, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, that is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow many pipes. I'll bet that's a smokin' organ! And is probably played all the "time."
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I found your blog! Its like a history lesson mixed with fabulous photos! I moved to Versailles a few months ago and I am enjoying learning about this great City! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks impressive. Bet it sounds that way too. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the incorporated some impressive woodwork into the pipes. I bet the sound is unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteTime has treated this organ well.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear the history in this photo.
ReplyDeleteAmazing this dates back over 3 centuries. Beautiful piece of art.
ReplyDeleteThe great organ of Notre-Dame looks very impressive at 3.50..pm I presume! Hang in there Ciel, it will be Spring before you know it.
ReplyDeleteMajestic and fascinating!
ReplyDeleteDes instruments toujours impressionnants, surtout quand on voit quand ils ont été fabriqués!
ReplyDeleteIl est impressionnant, j'espère qu'il sert de temps en temps
ReplyDeleteThe detail is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details, Ciel. A big organ is so expensive that they often don't have a lot of embellishment. In Versailles, no money and no talent was spared to make this as beautiful as possible.
