"Sculpture Representing Saint Roch, 18th Century"
Carved wood representing Saint Roch from the 18th century. Pilgrim and miracle worker, Saint Roch was born, in the middle of the Hundred Years' War, in the city of Montpellier, of which he would become the patron saint. Upon the death of his parents, he took the habit of a pilgrim and set off for Rome. Once his pilgrimage was completed, he cared for many sick people in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. This statue is in its original condition; we can see that this sculpture has traces of gilding and polychromy. Some losses and accidents. DIMENSIONS: 0.78m in height and 0.30m for the greatest width. Delivery on estimate.
