About This Design

St. Aloysius Gonzaga & Plague Victim (M 006) Photo Block

St. Aloysius Gonzaga & Plague Victim (M 006) Photo Block

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 19th-century chromolithograph, publisher unknown, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

This was a great product for an internal Awards event. Nadja R's brilliant graphic design work was mocked up digitally and then printed onto very high quality materials. I had a bespoke set of requirements and a really tight deadline and Zazzle came through. The end result was a real talking point for the Awards event and the base also not only helped with the stability, but it also looked like it had a light inside when the Show lights hit the Awards Trophies at certain angles. Thank you Nadja and Zazzle.

This turned out to be a great looking item. I found altering the design easy and the quality looked fab when all was done and finished. It matched my expectations wonderfully. The seller did a great job! The colours and font styles available were varied and I had fun tweaking them to my needs. The quality of both photo and the colours used where crisp too and came out wonderfully. Overall a great looking item very happy customer. Thank you!!
