TEC4602558: Stained glass windows of the Cathedrale de Chartres (Eure and Loire). Built partly from 1145, and rebuilt in twenty-six years after the fire of 1194, it is the monument par excellence of French Gothic art. Its vast nave of the purest ogival style, its porches with admirable mid-12th century sculptures, its shimmering set of stained glass windows from the 12th and 13th centuries make it an exceptional masterpiece and remarkably well preserved. The Cathedrale de Chartres has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Photography 30/06/05. / Bridgeman Images
