At the bottom right are the initials SGAV and the date 1747. The apparition of the Madonna to San Rocco with the 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 pilgrim's staff, the plague wound on his thigh, and the dog with a morsel of bread in its mouth—is partially kneeling in adoration of the two sacred figures who appear to him from a vortex of clouds in the sky. The apparition symbolizes the celestial consecration of his mission to heal the sick (particularly plague victims) and offer consolation to the suffering through the intercession of the Virgin and Jesus. The scene is set on a country path, near a stream beyond which one can see the city from which the saint remains isolated due to the illness he has contracted. The painting has been restored and relined in the past. It is mounted on a new tensioning frame.","brand":"Di Mano in Mano Co Uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56388623368571,"sku":"ARARPI0319903","price":2096.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/3880\/2555\/files\/ARARPI0319903_1.jpg?v=1787354887","url":"https:\/\/www.dimanoinmano.co.uk\/products\/antique-painting-religious-subject-oil-on-canvas-1747","provider":"Di Mano in Mano Co Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
