Chartres Cathedral, west portals, capital frieze between left and central portals, the Magi before Herod, Annunciation to the Shepherds, Nativity, Visitation

Between the left and central portals of the west facade, the narrative of Jesus’ life on the capital frieze is skilfully arranged to highlight the Nativity of Jesus on the broad capital. To the right is the scene of the Visitation, Mary’s visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, mother of St. John the Baptist. D'Emilio photo archive no. s20000107u
