Jesse Tree stained glass window, Chartres cathedral, France

Above, Solomon, son of David, sits on the second branch of the Jesse tree, with Isaiah and Micah on his left and right respectively, announcing the coming of a saviour. Below, David, son of Jesse, sits on the first branch of the tree, with Ezekiel on his left and Hosea on his right, from the Jesse Tree stained glass window, 1150, on the Western facade of the nave of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window, along with the 2 others on this facade from the 12th century, tells the life story of Jesus Christ. 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
