Pictured is `Saint Roch`, a French early 16th century oak statue with paint and gilding, on display in the Cloisters in New York City. Saint Roch`s celebrity derives from his reputation for curing plague victims, having himself been miraculously cured. His loyal dog was said to have brought him bread and licked his sores, nursing him back to health. The Cloisters is governed by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Cloisters specializes in Medieval art and architecture with a focus on the Romanesque and Gothic periods.
