EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting of Saint Roch, a French healer and patron saint of plague victims. Created by Paolo Morando in 1518, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of the medieval era with its intricate details and fine artistry. In this painting, Saint Roch is depicted as a medicine man dressed in traditional attire. His compassionate gaze reflects his dedication to healing those affected by the devastating black plague that ravaged Europe during the 14th century. By his side stands an angelic figure, symbolizing divine intervention and protection. One cannot overlook the presence of a loyal dog at Saint Roch's feet. This faithful companion serves as a reminder of the miraculous story associated with him – it is said that when he fell ill from contracting the plague himself, a dog brought him food and licked his wounds until he recovered. Paolo Morando skillfully captures both human suffering and hope through his brushstrokes. The vivid colors used in this painting evoke emotions ranging from despair to resilience in face of an epidemic that claimed countless lives. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us remember Saint Roch's legacy as not only a healer but also as an emblematic figure who offered solace to those afflicted by disease. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of humanity's enduring spirit even amidst times of great adversity.
