CONT

Chartres, as rebuilt from 1194, turned Early Gothic into High Gothic. Its quadripartite rib vaults, tall arcades, tall clerestory windows, flying buttresses, and its replacement of the gallery by a low triforium band all convey a sense of greater coherence, a yet quicker rhythm and yet more open walling.
