Saints Roch, Anthony Abbot and Lucy

Saints Roch, Anthony Abbot and Lucy or Three Saints is a 1513 oil on canvas (previously wood) painting by Cima da Conegliano, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Since St Anthony is depicted elevated in the centre and since St Roch is a patron saint of plague sufferers, it may have been commissioned for the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony, who ministered to plague victims.

From 1843 to 1904 it was part of the Duke of Leuchtenberg’s collection at Munich and St Petersburg and was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum in 1907.

The painting suffered during the transfer from panel to canvas and may have also been reduced in size.
