Death of Mary (La Chapelle-Janson)
The Window of Death of Mary in the Catholic parish church of St-Lézin in La Chapelle-Janson , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created in the 1550s. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1907 as Monument historique .
The three-part window in the choir comes from an unknown workshop. In the main scene it depicts the death of Mary , surrounded by the twelve apostles.
The window was given additions during the restoration.
