# Window [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOTHIC GLASS PAINTER, French]() - Date: 1251-1300 - Technique: Stained glass window ## Commentary In the central window of the choir at Amiens Cathedral the glass painters discovered how to provide tall narrow lancets with stained glass in an aesthetically satisfactory way without having to elongate the figures. This solution also met the requirement for more light in interiors. The windows were given a large area of grisaille glass in which the figures are set as a horizontal band of colour. ## Related artworks - [A Nobleman]() - [Angel Playing the Lyre]() - [Annunciation]() - [Charlemagne]() - [Charlemagne's Battle]() - [Charlemagne's Dream]() - [Charles VI]() - [Choir clerestory]() - [Departure of the Prodigal Son]() - [Esther Window \(detail\)]() - [Jacques Coeur Window]() - [Miracles of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
