Life of St Andrew stained glass window, Chartres cathedral, France

Matthias is led to his execution by several armed soldiers, one of them carrying the axe which will kill him. A crippled man begs for help below and the apostle raises his hand in blessing. Section of Matthias being led to his execution, from the Life of St Andrew stained glass window, 1210-25, in the Apostles chapel in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window has been altered many times, significantly in 1872 but also previously. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Most of its windows date from 1205-40 although a few earlier 12th century examples are also intact. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen
