# St Roch with an Angel [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MORETTO da Brescia]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 227 x 151 cm ## Commentary St Roch with an Angel c. 1545 Oil on canvas, 227 x 151 cm Szépmûvészeti Múzeum, Budapest This sober, monumental late altarpiece by Moretto was originally in the Brescian church of Sant'Alessandro. It is an example of Moretto's ability to bring together classical imagery - such as the architecture and especially the putto with his Roman-inspired drapery - and passages of intense scrutiny of the natural world. Chief among these is the figure of the pilgrim saint which has surely been studied from life. ## Related artworks - [A Saint Monk]() - [Allegory of Faith]() - [Count Fortunato Martinengo Cesaresco]() - [Ecce Homo]() - [Female portraits in front of landscapes]() - [Female portraits in front of landscapes]() - [Female portraits in front of landscapes]() - [Holy Family]() - [Madonna with Child and St Anthony]() - [Madonna with Child and the Young St John]() - [Pietà]() - [Portrait of a Boy with his Nurse]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
