Life of Fulbert stained glass window, Chartres, France

Fulbert as treasurer of the Church of St Hilary of Poitiers (left) and Fulbert the man of letters (right), sitting at a desk with inkstand and quill and 2 students, from the Life of Fulbert stained glass window, in the south transept of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window replaces the original 13th century window depicting the Life of St Blaise, which was destroyed in 1791. It was created in 1954 by Francois Lorin as a gift of the Institute of American Architects, on a theme chosen by the Canon Yves Delaporte. It depicts the life of Fulbert, bishop of Chartres in the 11th century. 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
