How do the Chartres cathedral represent the Gothic style?
A must see site, this is a small excerpt from that site:In the early years of the twelfth century, Abbot Suger of St. Denis set out to rebuild the choir of his abbey church near Paris. The design he employed represented the birth of a new style of architecture, the French style, which was later called Gothic. In the century following Suger's work, dozens of churches in the new style were erected throughout France and in other parts of Europe. The rapid proliferation of this style suggests that it was in some ways a reflection of the medieval world. By studying the structure, the decoration, and the function of the gothic cathedral, we can deepen our understanding of the world of the Middle Ages.* http://mason.gmu.edu/~ddonald/imageassignment/cathedral.htm
