About This Design

St. Aloysius & Plague Victim (M 006) Ceramic Ornament

St. Aloysius & Plague Victim (M 006) Ceramic Ornament

St. Aloysius Gonzaga (1568-1591) was an Italian Jesuit who died far too young while nursing plague victims at Rome. Although he admitted to his spiritual director St. Robert Bellarmine that he found the sights and smells of hospital work revolting—he was raised an aristocrat with all the benefits of an upper-class Renaissance lifestyle--nevertheless, he volunteered to nurse the indigent poor stricken in the outbreak. + In this image, St. Aloysius, clad in surplice and cassock, comforts a plague-ridden patient lying on a pallet on the ground. + Because of his reputation for compassionate care, St. Aloysius Gonzaga is considered patron saint of AIDS patients and their caregivers. + Feast: June 21 + Image Credit (M 006): Detail (on a reconstructed background) extracted from an antique image of S. Luigi Gonzaga che assiste gli appestati [St. Aloysius Gonzaga assisting the infected (especially those with the plague)], late nineteenth-century chromolithograph, publisher unknown, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera. + The Biblical passage is quoted from the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA), which is in the public domain.

So happy. Good quality ceramic and arrived in time to gift and I selected the slow postage, so very impressed. Printing quality is great and clear. Colours are exact to the artwork and saturation good. Very happy.

Christmas decorations were perfect photos were really clear although the font turned out to be very small I'd recommend it be made bigger. Although for a .com.au website I understood the product would be made in Australia turns out it was made and sent from Ireland. I wouldn't order again for this reason. Very clear photos, colours were perfect, the font was too small it didn't look this small in the preview so this was a little disappointing.
