The "Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon" is a notable work of late medieval art attributed to the French painter Enguerrand Quarton, also known as Enguerrand Charonton. Created circa 1460, this tempera on wood panel painting is renowned for its emotional depth and artistic mastery. Measuring 163 cm by 219 cm, the artwork is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, a common theme in Christian art known as the Pietà. This particular rendition is distinguished by its detailed representation of grief and the serene, yet somber expressions of the figures. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the lifeless body of Christ forming a diagonal that draws the viewer's eye to the central figures.

Enguerrand Quarton was active in the Provence region of France and is known for his sophisticated use of color and light, as well as his ability to convey complex human emotions. The "Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon" is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects the transition from the medieval period to the early Renaissance in European art.

The painting's provenance is not fully documented, but it is believed to have originally been commissioned for the Carthusian monastery of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Over the centuries, the "Pietà" has been the subject of scholarly attention for its stylistic qualities and its place within the oeuvre of Enguerrand Quarton. Its influence is evident in the works of subsequent artists, and it remains an important piece for the study of 15th-century French painting.
