<p>Looking up at the south tower of the Basilique Saint-Denis against a stormy sky, showing the contrast between the pale restored stonework of the tower completed under Viollet-le-Duc's 19th century restoration programme and the darker weathered masonry of the nave aisle behind. The asymmetry of the west front, the result of the demolition of the north tower following lightning damage in 1846, is evident in the silhouette.

<p>The tympanum of the central portal of the Royal Portal at Chartres Cathedral, depicting Christ in Majesty within a mandorla, surrounded by the symbols of the four Evangelists — the eagle of John, the lion of Mark, the ox of Luke, and the winged man of Matthew. The lintel below carries the twelve Apostles in a continuous frieze, while the multiple archivolts are densely populated with elders, angels, signs of the zodiac, and the labours of the months. Dating from around 1145, this is one of the founding works of Gothic portal sculpture and among the most complete 12th century iconographic programmes to survive in France.

<p>The column bases of the Royal Portal jambs at Chartres Cathedral, showing the intricate geometric ornament carved into the column shafts and the plinth blocks below. The decorative vocabulary includes interlaced diamond patterns, circular bosses, chevron mouldings, and small figural carvings tucked between the shafts, reflecting the sophisticated craft traditions of the 12th century Chartres workshops. The feet of the column figures are visible at the top of the frame, their drapery falling over the shaft below. The aged oak of the cathedral doors provides a contrasting backdrop to the pale limestone. Newcastle University Architectural Students Tour, June 2012.</p>
