Detail of the Virgin and child in majesty from the Our Lady of the stained glass and the public life of Christ stained glass window, 1180, in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window was so named in the 15th century. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture.
