Mount

The west front of Chartres rises above the Beauce, the flat wheatlands an hour southwest of Paris. Two towers stand against the sky in different centuries: a plain Romanesque spire from around 1160, and a Flamboyant Gothic one Jean de Beauce finished in 1513. Between them, the Royal Portal carries the figure sculpture that began French Gothic in the 1140s, and three lancet windows hold the blue the whole tradition is named for. The fire of 1194 took most of the cathedral. This wall is what survived to be rebuilt around.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
