Zodiac and labours of the months stained glass window, Chartres cathedral, France

A peasant sits by the fire warming his hands and feet at the flames in the coldest month of the year when the land cannot be worked, section of February from the Zodiac and the labours of the months stained glass window, 1217, in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This calendar window contains scenes showing the zodiacal symbol with its corresponding monthly activity. 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
