Workshop - details of Grundtvig Church
________________

High up on Bispebjerg in the north-western part of Copenhagen stands Grundtvig's Church, which on account of its size and position can be seen far and wide in the northern area of the city.

It was constructed in the years 1921-40 and was the last sizeable church to be built under the influence of the national-romantic movement. The yellow brickwork church - of cathedral proportions - is an impressive edifice, which combines historical forms with functionalistic simplicity.

The church was erected as a monument to the theologian and hymn-writer N. F. S. Grundtvig, and the foundation-stone was laid in 1921 in the 138th year of his birth on 8th September.

In 1930 - before the church was completed - the architect, P.V. Jensen-Klint, died, and his son, Kaare Klint, who also designed many of the furnishings, continued the work.

10 years later the finished church could finally be consecrated - on Grundtvig's 157th birthday. One of the church's two organs, the choir organ, dates from the same year. Marcussen & Sřn built it in 1940, and the façade was designed by Kaare Klint. In 1965 the main organ was erected in the west end - also built by Marcussen & Sřn. This time the façade was designed by Esben Klint, who was the son of Kaare Klint and therefore the grandson of the church's master builder.

Hi George

Another good pov, on this striking Church. I like the upward angle of shooting, & the superb color contrast, between the red roof & blue sky. Good sharpness, too. Tfs!

George
Ton POV met bien en valeur l'étrange architecture du bâtiment. Avec un ciel comme ça, tu t'es régalé et a dű remplir rapidement la carte mémoire de ton appareil!

Hallo George!
An impressive picture of an impressive building! I like all these lines and the few colours here. A very interesting and inventive architecture and perspective as well! Great!
Greetings from the spa Bad Meinberg!

Hello George,
I like this point of view, creatings an almost abstract depiction of this fine piece of architecture!
Good lines and effective dynamics make my eyes wander, fine textures and sharp details...
The red and blue add important colouration!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Interesting architectural detail, the straight linear design looks modern, though built using traditional materials. I wish the top of the structure wasn't touching the frame though.

Dear George
Indeed a very peculiar style, modern and aesthetic...I think it's also the way how you captured it...very well zoomed in for the closeup. Light is good as well with the contrast of the red tiles. Good work George!

Szia Gyuri!
Jókat lehetne most töprengeni a historizmus célján, hatásán és értelmén. Mindezt megspórolva csak megállapítom, hogy számomra ez a kolosszus ronda, amiről természetesen legkevésbé a fotós tehet - sőt, a kép nélkül szegényebb lennék egy példával.
Üdv
