Amiens Cathedral, Nave, South Flank, Chapels
Right to left: :St. Margaret 1290s St. Stephen c. 1300
Between the 1290s and c. 1380 the outer buttresses of the nave were extended to form the divisions between chapels which served as mausolea for wealthy patrons and also served the confraternities of the city. Most notable is the chapel of St Nicolas, third from the east given by the woad merchants of the surrounding area LES BONES GENS DES VILES DENTOUR AMIENS QUI VENDENT WAIDES ONT FAITE CHETE CAPELE DE LEURS OMONNES. A sculptured image depicts the merchants with their great sack of woad; the two kneeling fibures below presumably depict devout members of the confraternity of woad merchants, a dominant group in urban politics. Adjacent a beautiful Annunciation group attached to the chapel of the same name
