"Saint Roch" is an illuminated manuscript created by French miniaturist Jean Colombe. Attributed to have been produced in the late 15th century, it depicts the life and miracles of Saint Roch, the patron saint of plague sufferers. The illumination is renowned for its detailed and vibrant illustrations which brilliantly embody the Late Gothic style that heralded the transition to the Renaissance period in France.

Jean Colombe, revered as one of the preeminent French illuminators of the era, is especially noted for his use of rich colours and intricate designs in "Saint Roch." His artistic execution in the portrayal of Saint Roch's devotion and miracles captures the epidemiological and religious context of that period, creating a connection between the viewer and the narrative about Saint Roch.

The character of Saint Roch is depicted in solitude during his pilgrimage, his solitude communicating the dedication and perseverance of his faith. Notably, Colombe chooses to emphasize Roch's charitable deeds and his healing miracles, which includes his self-healing in the forest during his bout with the plague.

Colombe’s particular attention to details of everyday life and landscape background, and his use of a lustrous color palette, makes "Saint Roch" a compelling testimony to the mature style of the famous French miniaturist. The manuscript, therefore, is not only invaluable for its pictorial content, but also provides a significant understanding of the artistic trends and religious convictions of the late Middle Ages.
