«Quand les cathédrales étaient peintes» is the essay by Alain Erlande-Brandenburg, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
The book studies the construction of Gothic cathedrals, originally conceived full of color.

It includes numerous illustrations, stained glass, plans and drawings, with special attention to the French case.
The work is part of the Découvertes Gallimard collection, in its Architecture series, and was first published in 1993.
A popular work for readers interested in medieval art history and Gothic cathedral architecture.
Alain Erlande-Brandenburg was a French art historian and honorary general curator for heritage, a specialist on Gothic and Romanesque art.
