About the piece

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's 1733 painting depicts Saint Roch, the patron saint against plague, in a state of spiritual contemplation. The work showcases Tiepolo's masterful handling of light and his ability to convey deep emotion through dynamic, painterly brushwork and a sophisticated, tonal color scheme typical of the late Baroque period.
