Pilgrim, plague and healing · Saint Roch
Rubens, Jacques-Louis David, Tiepolo and Crivelli represent Roch as a wounded pilgrim, protector of plague victims and intercessor accompanied by his dog.
Saint Roch is a medieval pilgrim whose legend developed at the end of the 14th and 15th centuries, in a Europe marked by epidemics. Leaving Montpellier according to tradition, he treats plague patients in Italy before being affected himself. Taken aside, he is fed by a dog who brings him bread; the animal becomes its most famous iconographic companion. Roch often shows a wound on his thigh, carries the bumblebee, the pilgrim and sometimes a shell. Rubens often devotes a vast cycle to his role as protector, from rescuing the dog to death and designating the plague victims by Christ. Jacques-Louis David shows him interceding with the Virgin for the sick. Crivelli focuses the figure on its attributes. Tiepolo transforms its apotheosis into a luminous elevation. The "Saint Roch" selection notably compares Christ names Roch patron of plague victims - Peter Paul Rubens and Saint Roch fed by a dog - Peter Paul Rubens. His reading favors figures.
Roch carries the illness he is fighting on his own body: wound, bread and dog make protection immediately human.
