Item Details

Description

New World, Spanish Colonial, Mexico, ca. early 19th century CE. An interesting carved wood santo depicting Saint Roch (San Roque), the patron saint of dogs, here shown with a charming dog at his feet. Unlike many santos, this piece is not brightly colored, dominated by dark pigment with flashes of light pigment on the saint's leggings, collar, and undercarriage of the dog. A worshipper has placed an orange gourd on a wire around his neck. Size: 6" L x 5.75" W x 15" H (15.2 cm x 14.6 cm x 38.1 cm)

Saint Roch, also known as Saint Rocco, was born in France sometime in the 14th century. Notably pious from birth, he distributed all his worldly goods at the age of twenty and embarked upon a pilgrimage to Rome. In Italy, he tended to the sick during a plague epidemic. Falling ill with the plague, he was expelled from the town and went to live in the forest, where he was miraculously able to find water and a dog brought him bread. The dog depicted here represents that story.

Santos played an important role in bringing the Catholic Church to the New World with the Spanish colonists. These religious figures were hand-carved and often furnished with crowns, jewels, and other accessories, usually funded by religious devotees, and were used as icons to explain the major figures - Mary, Christ, and the saints - to new, indigenous converts. Likewise, they served as a connection to the Old World for Spanish colonists far from home. They became a folk art tradition in the Spanish New World, from modern day Guatemala to as far north as New Mexico and Colorado. Many of them were lovingly cared for over the years, with repairs and paint added as they aged, and played an active part for a long time in the religious life of their communities.
