| Title: | Chartres Cathedral; Ascension of Christ; left portal, west facade |
|---|
| Notes: | Portal of Ascension of Christ (left portal, west facade). Jesus Christ, apostles, angels, zodiac signs, labors of months. Voussoirs of archivolts depict signs of zodiac and accompanying labors of months. On tympanum, Christ ascends on cloud flanked by two angels. On lintel, angels descend on seated apostles. The theme of this doorway is more complex than just "ascension." [Villette, pg. 55] Digitized from the slide collection of James T. Womack, Nashville, TN. |
