Additional info/contents	I. Albi Initiated by Bernard de Castenet (1240-1317) on August 15 1282 construction commenced of the characteristic Sainte-Cécile in Albi. This cathedral has a peculiar appearance; it is built from red bricks. Because of the feebleness of these bricks salient angles were avoided and many round shapes were used. Build on a steep hill, having no forefront and with only one tower, makes this Saint-Cécile a unique creation. II. Chartres The Notre-Dame of Chartres, designed by an unknown architect, contains over 8000 statues! It is known for its two outstanding towers, but even more so because of its truly unique glass paintings. In these glass pictures (3889) mainly the colours red, green and sky-blue were used. In the "new tower” the bells are suspended, amongst others the Bourbon from the year 1520, weighing 5 tons. It can be heard in this part of the composition. III. Amiens In 1220 the first stone was laid of the biggest (7700 m2) Gothic cathedral of Europe; the Notre-Dame from Amiens. This cathedral is a highlight of Picardic architecture and is world famous because of its asymmetrical towers of uneven height. On top of the central porch is a statue of a blessing Christ, that is known as the "Beau Dieu” from Amiens. This unique masterpiece radiates a great form of serenity. Furthermore, the choir seats are the most beautiful and unique wood-carving of France. Charles Michiels was inspired by these magnificent cathedrals and attempts to capture the marvelous beauty of these buildings in this piece. I. Kathedrale Sainte Cécile zu Albi. II.
