context_page_description: Calvary at Tronoën is a calvary located at Saint-Jean-Trolimon in the Quimper arrondissement. It is located in the "pays bigouden", a particularly wind swept area of Brittany; the nearby chapelle was called the "cathédrale des dunes".
context_section_description: There are three crosses involved at Tronoën, the central cross bearing Jesus Christ with the pietà at its base whilst the two smaller crosses carry the two robbers executed alongside Jesus. At the base of the cross on the right of Jesus' cross is a sculpture showing St Veronica holding up her veil bearing Jesus' image and on the left is a depiction of  James, son of Zebedee, wearing the typical dress of a pilgrim to Santiago del Compostella, a pilgrim's staff and a sea-shell worn on his chest.
  In the pietà the sculptor has added two angels at either side of the Virgin Mary. They appear to be tenderly lifting her veil from her forehead with one hand whilst the other hands rest on Jesus' head and knee.
  Jesus is accompanied by five angels who are collecting his blood in chalices, whilst one is positioned above Jesus' head.
