  • Fulbert as artistic advisor (left) working with a master sculptor on the new cathedral after the fire of 1020 and Fulbert's piety to the Virgin Mary (right) with Fulbert worshipping the Virgin and child, 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
