EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "St. Roch (wood)" transports us back to the 16th century, showcasing a remarkable artwork by the Netherlandish School. Housed in the Musee de la Chartreuse in Douai, France, this masterpiece captures the essence of St. Roch's story and significance. Intriguingly, we witness a dog holding a loaf of bread in its mouth, symbolizing St. Roch's miraculous encounter during his battle with the plague. As the patron saint of plague victims and protector of the sick, St. Roch himself contracted the deadly disease but found solace and sustenance deep within a forest where he was tended to by this loyal canine companion. This extraordinary portrayal not only highlights St. Roch's unwavering faith but also emphasizes his role as a healer and bonesetter for those suffering from afflictions. The image beautifully depicts him as both pilgrim and hermit - an embodiment of resilience amidst adversity. Moreover, one cannot overlook the presence of what appears to be a guardian angel hovering above St. Roch – an ethereal reminder that divine intervention played an integral part in his journey towards healing. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every intricate detail within this photograph print while ensuring it remains true to its original form without any commercial use intentions mentioned here. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, let us reflect on St. Roch's enduring legacy as a compassionate healer who selflessly dedicated his life to alleviating suffering among humanity –
