EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the life of Saint Roch, painted by Everaert van Orley in 1517. The artwork, found in the Collection of the Sint-Jacobskerk in Antwerpen, Belgium, beautifully captures the essence of early Netherlandish art. In this masterpiece, we witness Saint Roch's remarkable journey as a physician and pilgrim during the time of the Black Death. With unwavering faith and deep compassion for others, he tirelessly provided charity and healing to those afflicted by this devastating plague. The painting depicts Saint Roch dressed as a pilgrim with his faithful dog at his side. His selfless acts of kindness earned him great reverence among Christians as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. This legend is vividly brought to life through Van Orley's expert use of oil on wood technique. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are transported back to Renaissance times when devotion to saints played an integral role in people's lives. The intricate details and vibrant colors evoke a sense of awe and wonderment. This print serves as a testament to both Van Orley's artistic brilliance and Saint Roch's enduring legacy. It reminds us that even amidst darkness and despair, there is always room for hope, faith, and acts of love towards our fellow human beings.
