Kölner Dom (Cologne´s Cathedral). Front Door

The front, or west facade, has three portals and the portals are very similar to Strasbourg. Each has statues fanning out from the doors, a tympanum with scenes from the featured subject and archivolts (ornamental moldings surrounding the arched opening) with mini scenes in them. The center portal has two doors with Mary as the main figure, just visible below, with the tympanum and archivolts above her.

What an amazing work of art this is. Amidst all the busy architecture of the cathedral, it may be easy not to notice just how intricate and stunning it is. You have highlighted it here beautifully.....a great composition with such clear detail.
