This is the northern rose window from Notre-Dame de Paris. I was there not that long before the fire. Amazingly, it seems as though all the stained glass in this photo actually survived the conflagration. This window was first made in about 1250, and most of the original glass is still in place. #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #Photography #Travel #Church #Glass #Colour #Paris 14 comments
 @RickGaehl This was my zoom background during lockdown. Thank you, I didn’t know they survived the fire @Lyle  @RickGaehl I was in Paris a few years back and was gobsmacked by how little of the building had survived. It really is a reconstruction, actually a re-synthesis. I can't find her right now, but on twitter there is, or was, a lady who seemed to be an expert who claimed that the basic design for European Cathedrals is from Syrian models, and was brought back to Europe by Crusaders @failedLyndonLaRouchite  |

In the #PBS series "Nova," there's an episode about how France is rebuilding the #NotreDameCathedral. It said that the original North Rose Window design had the circular design turned a bit on its side, in order to increase its structural integrity.
The show (full episode in link) was a fascinating episode about the craftsmen and detailed work involved in resurrecting the iconic fire-damaged church.
