"St. Roch" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque painter Bernardo Strozzi, which depicts Saint Roch, a Christian saint renowned for his care for the sick, particularly during the time of the plague. Bernardo Strozzi, also known as Il Cappuccino and Il Prete Genovese (1581–1644), was a prominent painter in the early Baroque period, known for his vibrant colors, expressive figures, and a blend of realism and theatricality that characterized much of the Baroque movement in art.

The painting portrays Saint Roch displaying the plague sore on his thigh, a common iconographic attribute in his representations, as he traditionally was said to have been miraculously marked by a plague sore. In the artwork, St. Roch is often accompanied by an angel, who points to the plague sore, or by his faithful dog, which, according to legend, brought him bread as he lay sick in the forest. Strozzi's depiction is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the emotional intensity conveyed through St. Roch's gaze and gesture.

Strozzi's "St. Roch" is an exemplar of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious figures who exemplified piety and compassion, serving as an inspiration for the faithful. The painting's exact date is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to Strozzi's mature period, when he had fully developed his signature style, combining the rich color palette of the Venetian school with the dynamic compositions of the Genoese artistic tradition.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context, as plague was a recurrent and devastating phenomenon in European cities during Strozzi's lifetime. The veneration of Saint Roch was particularly fervent during these times, as people sought his intercession for protection against the disease.

"St. Roch" by Bernardo Strozzi is housed in various collections, as the theme was popular and he painted multiple versions of the subject. The location of each version may vary, with some held in prominent museums or private collections. Each rendition of "St. Roch" by Strozzi continues to be studied for its stylistic elements and its place within the broader scope of Baroque religious art.
