EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Saint Clair or Saint Roch Altar, located in the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Rognes, France. Created by an unknown artist during the 17th century, this masterpiece depicts two significant figures: St. Roch and St. George. Intriguingly, St. Roch is portrayed holding a button that symbolizes the plague, highlighting his association with healing and protection against infectious diseases. This representation serves as a reminder of the devastating epidemics that plagued Europe during Henry III's reign from 1551 to 1589. The altar itself exudes a sense of divine power and faith through its intricate details and craftsmanship. The photo captures every delicate brushstroke and ornate design flawlessly, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such a remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how religion has played a crucial role throughout history in times of illness and suffering. Saints like Roch were revered for their ability to intercede on behalf of those afflicted by disease, offering hope amidst despair. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical artwork to life once again while preserving its cultural significance for future generations to admire. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of religious devotion and humanity's enduring struggle against sickness and adversity.
