Note the sculpture of the Royal Portal was done around 1150. Less than one hundred years later, in period of 1220 to 1230, we begin to see renewed interest in naturalism in the sculpture of Chartres. For example, compare the figures from the Porch of the Confessors on the South Transept with the jamb figures from the Royal Portal. The later sculptures are not so strongly vertical, even though they still function as jamb statues. We see some turning of the body and some gesture. The draperies are not as stiff. There is even some facial expression, and they seem more like portraits than the earlier examples.
