ResumoWhile the political circumstances made it materially impossible for him to build, the future neo-classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel achieved, between 1806-1813, paintings and transparent films which contributed to the invention of a national architecture aiming at reuniting art and people in one community. A number of these images present real, hybrid or imaginary cathedrals, new techniques improving their efficiency (dimensions, lighting, transparency, music and animated figurines). They connect the question of the neo-gothic to a new regime of historicity linking Christianism and modernity, as well as to the role of sentiment in artistic perception. They open up on Schinkel’s neo-gothic architectural projects and his investment in the debates concerning the cathedral of Cologne.
