The Mass of Saint Gregory 1470 - 1480

“The Mass of Saint Gregory” is a woodcut print from the late 15th century that depicts the legendary appearance of Christ during the celebration of mass by Pope Gregory the Great. The image shows the pope kneeling in prayer with the chalice before him, and behind him, a figure of Christ emerges from a window in a scene with graphic detail. To the left of the saint, figures representing hell are depicted, while to the right a divine angel appears, making this an exemplary example of religious art.
