Rocco

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a dramatic scene of a wounded man on the ground, surrounded by three helpers. One kneels beside him, holding his head, while another stands with a sword, and a third leans in with a basket of grapes. The background has a tree and distant hills, but the focus is on the tense, urgent moment in the foreground. The text at the bottom explains this is about Rocco, a man healed by the Virgin Mary after 50 sword wounds. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth and movement.
