EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jesus Christ Appearing to Saint Roch" by Paulus Pontius, dates back to the 17th century and is a captivating depiction of a biblical event. Saint Roch, a Christian hermit and healer, is shown in the image with a pilgrim's staff and a dog at his feet. According to legend, Roch was afflicted with the bubonic plague but was miraculously healed by an apparition of Christ. In this image, Christ is shown in profile, extending his right hand in blessing towards Roch. The background is filled with figures of angels, their wings outstretched, adding to the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. Paulus Pontius, also known as Paul Du Pont or Paul Dupont, was a Flemish engraver and printmaker, active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His works often depicted religious subjects, and his skillful use of line and tonal shading brought a sense of depth and realism to his prints. This particular engraving, executed on laid paper, is a testament to his mastery of the medium. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the past. The black and white tonality adds to the somber yet hopeful mood of the scene, making it a thought-provoking and inspiring work of art. Whether displayed in a private home or a public exhibition, "Jesus Christ Appearing to Saint Roch" by Paulus Pontius is sure to captivate and engage viewers with its intricate details and powerful symbolism.
