EDITORS COMMENTS
**Saint Roch as Patron of Plague Victims (1623)** - A Powerful Testament to Faith and Resilience
In this exquisite print, created in the early Baroque era by the renowned workshop of Peter Paul Rubens, we find Saint Roch, patron saint of plague victims. Dated 1623, this masterpiece is a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion and devotion during times of great suffering.
Saint Roch lies on his deathbed, surrounded by symbols of his martyrdom: a dog (representing loyalty) licks the sores on his legs, while an angel appears above him. The saint's face radiates serenity, as if accepting the will of God. In contrast, the darkened room and somber figures in attendance evoke a sense of despair.
This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to faith and resilience during times of great turmoil. Saint Roch's story serves as a beacon of hope for those afflicted by disease or hardship, reminding us that even in darkness, there is always the possibility for redemption and salvation through prayer and devotion.
