  • Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral, Chartres, France.  Dedicated to the Virgin, the central oculus shows the Virgin and Child and is surrounded by 12 small petal-shaped windows, 4 with doves, the rest with angels carrying candlesticks. Beyond this is a ring of 12 diamond-shaped openings containing the Old Testament Kings of Judah, another ring of smaller lozenges containing the arms of France and Castille, and finally a ring of semi-circles containing Old Testament Prophets holding scrolls. Beneath the rose itself are five tall lancet windows showing, in the centre, the Virgin as an infant held by her mother, St Anne. There are four more lancets containing Old Testament figures.
