EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mass of St. Gregory, from a Book of Hours, 1460/70, is a stunning artistic creation from the workshop of Willem Vrelant or his associates in Bruges, Belgium. This exquisite manuscript cutting in tempera and liquid gold on parchment is a depiction of St. Gregory the Great, Pope Gregory I, who was a significant figure in Christian history. He was not only a pope but also a doctor of the Church, known for his contributions to theology and liturgy. The image showcases St. Gregory in prayer, surrounded by angels and other saints, including Anicius Gregorius, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Neocaesarea, Gregory Thaumaturgus, and Gregory the Theologian St. Gregory Nazianzus is depicted on the left, wearing a red robe and holding a book, while St. Gregory of Neocaesarea is shown on the right, dressed in blue and wearing a mitre. The golden halos and intricate details of the angels' wings add a sense of grandeur and otherworldliness to the scene. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Low Countries during the fifteenth century. It is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago and is a popular exhibit for visitors interested in the history of art, literature, and Christianity. The Mass of St. Gregory is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed drawings that were common in manuscripts of the time, showcasing the skill and artistry of the artists of the period. The use of gold and vibrant colors adds to the overall effect, making this a truly breathtaking work of art.
