Saint Roch, early 16th century, Made in Normandy, France, French, Oak, paint, gilt, 62 1/4 × 20 1/2 × 13 3/4 in., 140 lb. (158.1 × 52.1 × 34.9 cm, 63.5 kg), Sculpture-Wood, Saint Roch’s celebrity derives from his reputation for curing victims of plague, having himself been miraculously cured of the disease.
