...century processional cross decorated with an enthroned Christ and symbols of the Evangelists from Borbona (see cut); and a superb 13th century Limoges enamel casket, borrowed from the Roman church of Santa Maria in Via Lata (see color pages). There are a number of pieces that, regardless of their function, are extremely beautiful as sculpture. One is an angel from the cathedral of Vetralla, carrying relics of St. Andrew.

Close scrutiny of the settings reveals not only the character of the people who inhabit them but the spirit of the entire age as Kubrick understands...
