Gregory of Nazianzus, also known as Gregory the Theologian (circa 330-389/390), was a prominent 4th-century Archbishop of Constantinople. Depicted in various artworks, including oil paintings like 'The Immaculate Conception and the Saints (1689)' and medieval Greek manuscripts, Gregory is often shown in company with other Church Fathers, such as Basil the Great and Gregory of Nazianzus, as seen in prints by Gerard Edelinck and chromolithos. His influence extended beyond the religious sphere, as evidenced by the depiction of a Byzantine emperor's costume and throne in an engraving from the 9th century. Pope Gregory I, who lived centuries later, was also inspired by Gregory's teachings and is often portrayed in similar artistic styles. The enduring legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of history and the hallowed halls of the Church.
