EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Giuseppe Caletti captures the essence of Saint Roch, a revered figure in religious history. The image portrays Saint Roch kneeling on a stone, his profile seen from the side. Behind him stands his loyal companion, a dog, symbolizing loyalty and devotion. In the background, a picturesque townscape unfolds at the left, adding depth to the composition. The etching technique employed by Caletti enhances the details and textures of this 17th-century artwork. Saint Roch is depicted as a man of faith and humility, deep in prayer or contemplation. His staff rests beside him as he seeks solace in his spiritual journey. This portrayal showcases the artist's skill in capturing both physical and emotional aspects of this iconic religious figure. Giuseppe Caletti's work reflects his mastery of capturing human emotions through artistry. With meticulous attention to detail and an understanding of light and shadow, he brings Saint Roch to life on paper. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is part of our rich heritage that connects us with centuries-old traditions and beliefs. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also invites contemplation about our own spirituality today.
