EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint Roch, a revered figure from the 13th century. Painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in the early 18th century, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Saint Roch's selfless devotion to those afflicted by the plague. Saint Roch is depicted in his pilgrim attire, wearing a hat and cloak while seated. His profile reveals a sense of determination and compassion as he gazes off into the distance. The artist skillfully portrays him with his signature attributes - a cockleshell, wallet, and staff - symbolizing his pilgrimage and dedication to aiding others. A poignant detail lies beneath Saint Roch's lifted robe: a visible plague spot on his thigh. This serves as a reminder of both his own suffering and resilience during times of widespread illness. Adding an element of warmth to this somber scene is Saint Roch's faithful dog who stands beside him. It was said that this loyal companion brought him bread when he sought solace in the wilderness while battling the plague himself. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this painting serves as an enduring testament to Saint Roch's unwavering commitment to helping those in need. Gifted by David M. Daniels in memory of Frances H. Daniels, it continues to inspire viewers with its powerful depiction of compassion amidst adversity.
