About the piece

Painted around 1732, this work by the Italian master Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicts Saint Roch, the patron saint of plague victims. Shown as a humble pilgrim with his characteristic staff and faithful dog, the figure is captured in a moment of quiet reflection. The painting showcases Tiepolo's signature style, blending dramatic lighting with a warm, earthy color palette and fluid, confident brushstrokes.
