Phase 1

The nave aisle windows received their glass in the late 1220s to 1230s.  It is possible that artisans from Chartres settled in Amiens and created windows that would have resembled the aisle windows at Chartres.  Colors would have been deeply saturated with an emphasis upon blue and, to a lesser extent, red.  Narratives from the Bible were organized within decorative patterns formed by the iron armatures.
