West facade; no tympanum but many jamb sculptures; and all the wonderful glass |
Reims has a couple of famous "smiling angels"; here is the main one |
He/she seems to be saying "YES!" to something...maybe the fact that he/she still has a head |
The other is left here, one wing missing, Gabriel announcing to Mary "Hail Mary, have I got a deal for you..." |
Thus |
But compare with the adjoining pair, the Visitation, the detail on the robes... |
One bit of the massive sculpture on the inside of the west facade |
Last Judgment on the tympanum of the main door, north facade |
Resurrection detail |
"Welcome to Hell!" |
A king and a bishop, not least |
Elsewhere, baptism of Clovis |

Wonderful sculpture.
Dear Mark!
If it is your photography, I compliment you that you are superb photographer and
very intelligent person!
By this pictures you have opened for me the hole world of sculpture of this remarkable
building. Thank you very much!
I've just comeback from Reims but I haven't opportunity to see these details.
