Mass of Saint Gregory 1415

The *Mass of Saint Gregory* (1415) by Robert Campin depicts a scene of the miracle of the consecrated Host, where Saint Gregory, shown here as Pope Gregory I, is praying and a vision of Christ appears. The artist uses meticulous detail to create a sense of realism in the scene, which is set in a richly decorated interior. The painting is notable for its use of perspective and its naturalistic depiction of the figures. It is one of the most important examples of Early Netherlandish painting, and it is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
