context_page_description: Roland Doré was a 17th-century sculptor and his workshop or "atelier" produced many sculptures for the "enclos paroissiaux" or "Parish church enclosure or Closes" of Brittany. In particular his work can be seen on calvaries and in the church's south porch. He was born in 1616 and died in 1660. Little detail of his life is known but it is recorded that he practised as an architect in Landerneau, as well as running his workshop and was recorded as calling himself the "Sculpteur du Roi". His works, all of an ecclesiastical nature, are mainly located in Léon and the north of Cornouaille. Here is a list of some of those works. They can be taken as works by Doré's workshop rather than just by Doré himself. Brittany is particularly rich in calvaries, some of a very elaborate nature. In most cases the calvary involves both the crucifixion cross and side crosses or gibbets bearing the good and the bad robbers. Below this, on the crosspieces, were statues of those present at the crucifixion. A feature of Breton calvaries is that most of the statues were carved as a pair and effectively back to back.
context_section_description: The "enclos" at Saint-Servais in Finistère is known for the quality of its bell tower and ossuary.  Saint-Servais had been part of Plounéventer but became an independent commune in 1792. Of the sculptures on the calvary only the crucifix and the "Christ aux liens" are by Doré. Also at Saint-Servais the "Croix de Brėtiès known as the Croas-Vossoc is by Dorė. The calvary has a crucifix and a shield inscribed "IAC BRAS 1640".
