Saint Roch Giving Alms

Saint Roch Giving Alms is an oil on canvas painting by Annibale Carraci, commissioned between 1587 and 1588 by the Confraternity of San Rocco in Reggio Emilia, a body for whom he produced several works. His largest work on panel or canvas (as opposed to fresco), it is the crowning achievement of his career before his move to Rome. Only completed in 1595, it is now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany.
