A comparative lens on Gothic: Saint‑Denis’s prototype of transparency versus Chartres’s mature systems.

Saint‑Denis prototypes transparency; Chartres matures structure and iconography. Together they outline Gothic logic across centuries and contexts.
| Aspect | Saint‑Denis | Chartres |
|---|---|---|
| Choir | Prototype of glassy enclosure | Mature elevation |
| Iconography | Seeded cycles | Dense cycles |
| Vaults | Transitional | Codified high Gothic |

Gothic is dialogue across sites and centuries.
