Judgment of Ivo Hélory (Les Iffs)

Ivo Hélory's judgment window in Les Iffs

The Judgment window of Ivo Hélory in the Catholic parish church of St-Ouen in Les Iffs , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created around 1550. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1906 as Monument historique .

The window in the choir was in the studio of Michel Bayonne in Rennes created, which created many stained glass windows in the region.

The window shows St. Ivo Hélory († 1303) in his judicial office. The rich man on his right (with the features of François de Coligny , 1557–1591), whose gold coin Ivo does not accept, tries to bribe Ivo. Instead, he turns to the arms on his left side. Two angels hold the coat of arms of the Order of Michael above the saint .

In addition to this window, eight other windows from the Renaissance period have been preserved in the church (see navigation bar).
