Formerly known as the "Master of Magione", Nero Alberti da Sansepolcro established a workshop around Perugia in the mid 16th century specializing in the production of devotional images like the present figure.  They were intended to be dressed in real clothing, particularly during the celebration of Catholic feast days.  While similar figures used for celebrations and processions were often made with a wood head and arms but only a straw body, the present piece is fully carved in detail with the musculature of a youth.  Similar statues of San Rocco by Sansepolcro are in Antria di Magione, Bastia Umba and in Pergola.
