Abstract
Since the Middle Ages, epidemics have had a significant weight in the evolution of Western art, particularly in those territories of the Mediterranean area that were cyclically affected by contagion. For many artists, the plague has marked a before and after in the way of representing the themes of death, disease, healing and salvation. In addition to recreating the consequences of disease in the population, with increasingly surprising results toward a naturalistic interpretation of the effects of contagion on the human body, they explored the theme of the plague also in relation to devotion, elaborating outstanding visual devices for the devotion, featuring the locally invoked anti pestem saints. This presentation wants to make a journey through the most practiced iconographic solutions in baroque painting dedicated to the plague, in particular in religious images, where divine entities are represented in a desolate setting, between the sick bodies and the cadavers. In this type of composition, the plague is interpreted as a divine punishment, and sometimes this concept is visually resolved through the representation of arrows thrown by a wrathful God.
