Text Appearing Before Image:
middle door of the north transept at Chartres, which are dated between 1220 and 1225. It may be debated which set is the original, and which the copy, and the explanation offered for them here is that they were carved in advance, and laid by till they were wanted. Another idea is that the west front was first built farther back where the break above noticed occurs, and that these figures were removed thence when the church was lengthened by royal command to its present extent1. They are in marked contrast to the figures in the opposite jamb which are very fine, and inferior only to those in the middle portal. These are beyond all praise, and the finest mediaeval figures I have ever seen. The sculpture of the Middle Ages culminates in the four figures of the Annunciation, and the Salutation (Plate XXVI). In the former the Virgin has an air of delightful simplicity, and 1 M. Demaison thinks this an impossibility, but it was done as we knowwith the west front at Chartres (v. sup. p. 98).
