The Pietà window in the Catholic parish church of St-Léonard in Fougères , a French town in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created in the 16th century. The stained glass window was classified as a Monument historique in 1944 .
The two-part window in the southern chapel comes from an unknown workshop. It depicts Mary as Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) with the body of Jesus Christ removed from the cross , the so-called Pietà .
On the right lancet you can see the kneeling founder with his namesake . Two coats of arms of the donor family are attached to the lower edge.
