St Roch, The Angel And The Dog. Seventeenth Century Carved Wood
Carved wood statue representing St Roch, the Angel and the dog carrying bread in its mouth.
St Roch, caring for the lepers encountered during his pilgrimages, caught the plague and isolated himself in a wood thinking he was going to die. He was saved by the Angel and the little dog who brought him bread every day.
The face of the Saint, imbued with a beautiful interiority, is treated in a very moving way.
So most of the representations of St Roch show him revealing the wound he has on his leg, here it is the Angel who discovers and touches the wound. 17th century work.
Height: 33cm
Widest width: 18cm
Good condition. It is possible that the cane of St Roch has been replaced over time, but it is not certain.
