This print captures a powerful moment in history as St. Charles Borromeo fearlessly administers the sacrament to plague victims in 1576. The painting, created by Sigismondo Caula, showcases the archbishop's unwavering dedication to tending to those afflicted by the devastating epidemic. In this poignant scene, we witness St. Charles Borromeo surrounded by angels, symbolizing divine intervention and protection during this time of immense suffering. With compassion and courage, he offers solace and spiritual guidance to souls on the brink of death. The architectural backdrop adds depth and solemnity to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. As bodies lay strewn across the landscape, it is evident that no one was spared from this merciless outbreak. St. Charles Borromeo's presence radiates hope amidst despair as he performs last rites with a rosary in hand. His selflessness and commitment exemplify his unwavering faith and dedication to serving others even in times of great peril.
