In Gothic churches, light is a storyteller.
How to Look
- Identify narrative panels (saints, kings, prophets).
- Note restorations—Victorian and modern insertions.
Best Times
- Morning: cool light in the nave; afternoon: warm hues in transepts.
Bottom Line
Follow the color; it leads you through time.
