An imposing, life-sized Baroque sculpture of Saint Roch, standing at an impressive 178 cm. The saint is depicted in a theatrical, upward-gazing pose, characteristic of the Counter-Reformation aesthetic. He wears a pilgrim's cape adorned with scallop shells and holds his tunic to reveal the plague sore on his thigh—a poignant reminder of his role as a healer and protector. The drapery is carved with deep, rhythmic folds that create a powerful play of light and shadow. The reverse is hollowed out, as is typical for large-scale architectural or altar figures of this period, to ensure structural stability. The original polychromy and gilding remain visible, lending the piece a profound sense of antiquity and spiritual gravitas. Polychrome and gilded carved wood, H 178 cm .
