rose - a photo on Flickriver

rose

yeah, it's trite and probably the most photographed rose window in the world but the colors are still magnetic for me. I didn't even set the resolution to high nor did I even try to present anything new to the countless images EXACTLY just like this but for me, this religious art is still unforgivably stunning.

from www.elore.com/Gothic/Features/Paris/north_rose.htm:
The magnificent roses of the transepts at Notre Dame date to 1250-60. Unlike most of the glass in Paris, and much of France, these two contain nearly all of their original elements. The ravages of time and war destroyed a majority of the great glass works of the Middle Ages, though human arrogance also took its toll. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the distaste for Medieval styles was prevalent across Europe. In efforts to modernize the churches and cathedrals, windows were callously smashed out and replaced with a lightly tinted glass called grisaille. In the nineteenth century some of these works were restored. Sadly, there no longer existed an extant tradition which supported the same degree of craft evident in such masterpieces as the roses of Notre Dame de Paris and Chartres.
