Detail of “Massacre des Innocents”, a stained glass (1150) from the western facade of the cathedral of Chartres (France), a UNESCO World Heritage monument. Of Romanesque style, it is among the oldest stained glasses preserved in the present building. It illustrates the “blue of Chartres”, a color originating from the presence of tetrahedral Co 2+ and Fe 2+ as reinforced by reducing fabrication conditions.
