Christopher Tolkien and the "Aubusson weaves Tolkien" project

- On January 19th 2019, in the Abbey of Thoronet, Christopher Tolkien discovered with emotion the first tapestries of the "Aubusson Tisse Tolkien" project ("Aubusson weaves Tolkien"), launched by the Cité internationale de la tapisserie in Aubusson, France.
This film captures an historical moment: Christopher Tolkien chose to share an intimate anecdote about his father and his artwork, especially on the painting "Rivendell", fifth tapestry of the project (which is being currently woven in the Cité de la tapisserie).
The tapestries are now back to Aubusson, on display at the Cité internationale de la tapisserie.

I'll never stop thanking Christopher for continuing his father's work. A hero.
he wasn't a nivce guy.
@@giannilyanicks1718 That's not the point. The point was the continuation of his father's legacy, which he did admirably well
The way he looks at these pictures, you can see the little kid being told all the stories at bedtime in his eyes
it must have reminded him of his father telling him the story of bilbo and gandalf with the company of 13 dwarves on their journey to the lonely mountain
Rest in peace Christopher Tolkien you wonderful man.
he wasnt
Christopher Tolkien died today at the age of 95. He was born on November 21, 1924. I'm not going to pretend to say I knew the man. I'm sure renowned scholars, celebrities and most of all family members could tell you how great this son was of JRR Tolkien. It's amazing that books still hold up well in the overconsuming advancement of technology in our world. I don't know how much of JRR tokens works remains unpublished to our world, but there's no denying that Christopher Tolkien was the true fan of The Middle-Earth series more than any of us. He could have lived his legacy for more self gain, but instead was humble enough to be a shadow of his father. Now he gets to rest and be with his mother and father. We lost a legend today from our mortal eyes to see, but as long as I exist, my family will always hear beautiful stories that started with a Hobbit that lived "In a hole in the ground".
Thank you Joe, I think the telos was finally completed with the publication in 2018 of The Fall of Gondolin.
Joe Balaich Well said my good sir.
he was mentally insane. it's really stupid he move in a ugly french town. he was out of his mind.
History will remember that there were two Tolkien and that the work of the second was almost as important as that of the first.
Thank you Mr Christopher Tolkien
Rest in peace, rest in Valinor 😔
He's 94 and very well for his age, sharp of mind and healthier than many other old people. God bless Christopher Tolkien, I'm proud that he has finished his father's work.
aannd he is dead.
It deeply saddens me.
And after finishing his last work, he now rests at long last, his deathbed in the country in which this very video takes place.
A nice little gem to see Christopher Tolkien's face when looking at his father's work and reminiscing about his childhood.
We love you, Christopher
don't you see... the moment little Christopher Tolkien realized his father was alive and ok despite his fear otherwise -- that was a moment of eucatastrophe that brought little Christopher to tears, and one of those very tears of Joy, Restoration, etc...is part of that painting and now by extension part of the Rivendell tapestry as well.
"petit idiot" ... ;-=)
I normally hate seeing majestic cathedrals gutted and turned into horrible modern art galleries. But these beautiful tapestries are fitting of the space. I have tears in my eyes seeing Christopher's wonder-filled smile. He looks so much like his dad!
Christopher Tolkien was an amazing man. May he enojy his times in the Halls of Mandos. Namárië.
And after finishing his last work, he now rests at long last, his deathbed in the country in which this very video takes place. I can only imagine what his last thoughts might have been. If his life were to flash before his eyes, would he not see with his very own eyes Gondolin? Rivendell? Lothlorien? To him these places were more real than Babylon. I for one hope he imagined green grass and white shores, with his Father and Mother surrounded with a host of every noble hearted member of the Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, Men, and a Grey and White wizard with all the Ainur filling the dome that is the sky, taking part in Illuviatar's last long awaited theme after the end of all days.
Oh god... this is so sad. Rest in Peace Christopher... Thanks for everything you did for us and your father
Beautiful work!!! And it's so moving to listen Mr. Tolkien remembering his father. Thank you for so much!!!
His father knew he left his works in the best hands ❤❤❤
May he rest in peace.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Christopher!
Christopher John Reuel Tolkien. I wanted to type out your name because I wanted to say your name to you. I wonder what it would be like just to shake your hand. Christopher I love you. I love your family. There is true Magic in your families blood. I cannot thank you enough for continuing your father’s work. Sir thank you and much love.
Sincerely Gordon
Christopher Tolkien, God rest his soul, was a true gentleman and a scholar.
Rest In Peace Christopher the legendarium is so much more vibrant because of you and we all appreciate your contribution to Middle Earth.
Happy 95th Birthday, Christopher Tolkien!!!
He lived to 95. He lived a long life.
I would have cried had I gone to this gathering. His father was great but I think the son eclipesed the father in many ways. Whatever love, duty, and honor was in the father, it was magnified in his son. More than a chip off an old block, Christopher Tolkien was a long continuance of the branch. While I adore the Hobbit and LotR texts, my first read as an adult was The Lost Tales and the Silmarillion. 25 years had past since I read the first books and the movies had not come out so I was more familiar with LT and Sil. than LotR. Now, all of them rest at my bedside. RIP Christopher Tolkien.
What an honor to have had you with us
Thank you Sir
Descansa en paz Christopher. Descansa en Valinor.
"I will take the ring, though i do not know the way"
Wooow
L’amour et l’admiration d’un fils pour son père. C’est magnifique. Merci du partage!
Farewell, sir. I thank you.
So much love!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I come back regularly to experience this deeply personal and moving vignette of CJRT, with Baillie there right beside him. I have adored you, Christopher, for over fifty years. I will be ever grateful for your life's work. If your father was Beren, then you are Dior Aranel, King of Elves. The world is no longer the same without you.
What an amazing, moving moment in time.
I wonder if he weeps a tear when he sees his father this time.
A beautiful video - many thanks for sharing it with us - and many thanks to Christopher Tolkien for all his years of work to share his father's imagination with us!
This video always makes me cry. How special most have been to see his father’s work come to live
i always thought (from pictures) that he was a kind of a strict, emotionless man, but after watching this, i could had not been far from the truth.
So sad to hear of his passing today. May your journey West have fair seas, fine company, & tall tales.
Un grand homme, ces quelques mots sont très touchants, merci pour son travail
Rest in Peace master... He's taken a ship to the West and reunited with his father.
I miss you already.
Rest In Peace
Merci pour la captation !
Rest In Peace, in the hall of Mandos
Beautiful and touching
I wish I could like this multiple times.
There he is....the worlds last Inkling. May he live on to the other side to join his father in the Eagle & Child beyond.

The skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps; the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed; the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; the skilful
closer needs no bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible; the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what he has bound will be impossible. In the same way the sage is always skilful at saving men, and so he does not cast away any man; he is always skilful at saving things, and so he does not cast away anything. This is called 'Hiding the light of his procedure.'
Therefore the man of skill is a master (to be looked up to) by him who has not the skill; and he who has not the skill is the helper of (the reputation of) him who has the skill. If the one did not honour his master, and the other did not rejoice in his helper, an (observer), though intelligent, might greatly err about them. This is called 'The utmost degree of mystery.'
Wahou, l'anecdote finale, elle vaut son pesant d'émotion ! 😐😮
Magnifique vidéo, merci ! 👍🏻
I'm so glad that I have seen this. It's beautiful and touching.
This is utterly delightful.
vraiment de toute beauté, ces tapisseries sont magnifiques ...Merci pour cette belle vidéo :)
Gracias por los subtitulos ❤️
You can tell he really liked this exhibition.
They are beautiful..
💙 A great man. Thank you for everything.
And so he passes on, into the West. Rest now.
RIP Christopher Tolkien !
Fantastico, hermoso Christopher Tolkien.
Thanks Chirstopher. It's because of you than we can read all thoses texts from your father.
Покойся с миром, дедушка Крис!
When speaker introduced his guests I had to laugh, completely devoid of any ill intent, after hearing for the very first time that name in French mode: _Tolkienne._ That's just precious =)
I will take the ring, although I do not know the way. RIP Christopher Tolkien. AKA Frodo.
No tenía idea de qué Tolkien también dibujara sus obras y sobretodo en lienzo que no es nada fácil, mis respetos a la trabajo de la vida de este gran maestro y a su familia se puede ver qué Christopher recuerda a su padre como si hubiera sido ayer y es así como un hijo debe recordar a su padre ~Namarie~
Rip to a legend
r.i.p Christopher
Hermoso!!!
Gracias por los subtitulos en castellano.
Moving reminiscence by the last Inkling..
Gracias

All-pervading is the Great Tao! It may be found on the left hand and on the right.
All things depend on it for their production, which it gives to them, not one refusing obedience to it. When its work is accomplished, it does not claim the name of having done it. It clothes all things as with a garment, and makes no assumption of being their lord;--it may be named in the smallest things. All things return (to their root and disappear), and do not know that it is it which presides over their doing so;--it may be named in the greatest things.
Hence the sage is able (in the same way) to accomplish his great achievements. It is through his not making himself great that he can accomplish them.
Descanse en paz :(

RIP. 😢
Wow

Why did he move to France?
Probably because he liked our country ^^
:,)
Requiescat in pace. ¿La señora es Priscilla o es la esposa de Christopher?
Ella era su esposa, ahora es viuda.
He became 95 on the 21st of November.. sad that he will be gone within a decade :(
You cursed it dude
well he lived long
I shouldn't be able to see this
wait hes french.. ma vie est un mensonge
He was English but lived in France for almost 50 years and became a French citizen.
Tolkien not this! Tolkien is catoliks, but not poganes!
Maybe a Catholic church should've hosted this event then.
This is a Catholic abbey.. what's your problem
He lived to 95. He lived a long life.
RIP
