Item description

Oil on canvas. Central Italian school. At the bottom right is the acronym S.G.A.V. and the date 1747. The apparition of the Madonna in San Rocco with Baby Jesus in her arms is a recurring iconographic theme in Christian devotion. The saint, recognizable by his traditional iconographic attributes - the short tunic and the pilgrim's staff, the plague wound on his thigh, the dog with a morsel of bread in his mouth - is partially kneeling in adoration of the two sacred figures who appear to him on a vortex of clouds in the sky: the apparition is intended to symbolize the celestial consecration of his mission to cure the sick (particularly the plague-stricken) and offer consolation to the suffering through the intercession of the Virgin and Jesus. The scene is located on a path in the countryside, near a stream beyond which you can see the city from which the saint remains isolated due to the disease he contracted. The painting has previously undergone restoration and relining. It is mounted on a new tensionable frame.
