## Commentary

This half-length devotional picture was painted as an offering for the St Roch Confraternity of Venice. Together with many other similar gifts, paintings by Tiepolo, Piazzetta, Diziani, etc., the picture was presented by the Scuola di San Rocco at the August celebration of the society. Another picture of St Roch by Pittoni, similar to that in the Budapest Museum, is mentioned at the close of the 18th century in the Silvestri Collection of Rovigo \(now in the Accademia dei Concordi, Rovigo\).
