From the splendours of Notre-Dame de Paris, Chartres and Beauvais we move on to the other regions of France, and then to England, the Low Countries, Germany, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. We follow the skilled master masons who raised these noble monuments, the sculptors and painters who decorated them with restrained and graceful figures, and other artists who furnished them with stained-glass windows rich in religious symbolism."
