The North Transept Rose Window of Chartres Cathedral
This much overdue addition to the Paradoxplace pages was prompted by the recent purchase of Painton Cowan's superb book "The Rose Window" (right).
The 2005 book (not to be confused with an earlier smaller work by the same author) is published by Thames & Hudson, one of the leaders in high quality coffee table books packed with knowledge and outstanding photos, and this is one of their best.
In 2008 Thames and Hudson have published another book by Painton Cowan:
West Rosone of Troia Cattedrale
The Wagon Wheel Rose Windows (Rosoni) of Puglia's Cathedrals
Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris, North Transept Rose Window
North Transept Rose Window of the Cathédrale St-Gatien, Tours
Restored East Oculus of Siena Duomo by Duccio
More to come ......
