Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris - North Rose Window

Paris, France

This window dates from around 1240 - 1270 and I understand that it retains much more of the original glass and design than the others. It was built by Jean de Chelles. In the center circle is the Virgin and Child. They are encircled by the prophets. Next are 32 Old Testament kings. The outer circle has 32 patriarchs and priests.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow! They don't make windows like they used to. Great shot of this stunning work of art. V
