I assume one of the tympanum over the doorways of the entrance to the cathedral. It's good to see this so clearly in your masterful hands, because most facade pictures show these only recessed under the massive receding arches over the doors (the archivolts). But in this zoom---I assume a zoom because it's not possible to get up this close on foot, of course---we can see the immense detail of the sculptors and designers, placed into every available space. And we can see the statues filling the arches around the tympanum, as if they were soaring into space...again showing the obsessive Gothic mind, in its quest to fill every available space with representations of the Catholic faith. I used to know some of the figures in this facade (as Amiens is one of the major works of the Gothic style), but don't remember anything today. But one glance shows that the designers were packing figures of every kind into these rows, and telling stories in the process. Another fine offering from you, from this masterpiece. We don't get to see this very often, here...
