Saint Roch

myminifactory

Saint Roch stands tall in the Musée du Cinquantenaire, Brussels, Belgium, a testament to artistic craftsmanship circa 1520. Crafted from walnut wood, this original polychrome masterpiece was gifted by Vermeersch in 1911. The saint's presence is made possible through the innovative use of ReMake and ReCap technology from AutoDesk. Saint Roch embodied a life of devotion, surrendering all material possessions to live as a pilgrim and beggar. His selfless acts led him to travel extensively throughout Italy, where he demonstrated remarkable healing abilities in the face of the plague. His unwavering compassion earned him a revered status as protector against epidemic outbreaks. The saint's attire is reminiscent of a pilgrim's habit, adorned with attributes signifying his noble dedication.
