"San Rocco e gli Appestati" (Saint Roch and the Plague Victims) is a Baroque-era oil painting by the Italian artist Antonio Zanchi, created in the 17th century. The painting depicts Saint Roch, a Catholic saint invoked as a protector against the plague, ministering to victims of the disease. Zanchi's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene.

In the painting, Saint Roch is typically shown displaying a plague sore on his thigh, a sign of his own affliction and miraculous healing, as he tends to the sick and dying. The composition often includes anguished figures and a dark, chaotic atmosphere, reflecting the despair of plague-ridden communities. Zanchi's use of vivid colors and dynamic figures conveys both the horror of the plague and the compassion of the saint.

Antonio Zanchi (1631–1722) was a Venetian painter who studied under the tutelage of Francesco Ruschi and later Girolamo Forabosco. His works were primarily religious in nature and he was known for his ability to portray dramatic biblical and hagiographical scenes. "San Rocco e gli Appestati" is considered one of Zanchi's significant works, exemplifying his skill in capturing the human condition and the divine intercession of saints.

The painting is not only an artistic representation but also a historical document, reflecting the societal impact of the plague in Europe, which led to the veneration of Saint Roch as a powerful intercessor during outbreaks. The artwork serves as a testament to the period's religious fervor and the hope placed in saints for protection and healing.

"San Rocco e gli Appestati" by Antonio Zanchi remains an important work for its artistic merit and its cultural significance, offering insight into the Baroque period's response to one of the most devastating diseases in European history. The painting is housed in a collection or museum that preserves and displays Zanchi's legacy, continuing to draw the interest of art historians and the general public alike.
