Description:
|
|
Gregory the Great is seen at the top of the painting within an idealized architectural setting in council with cardinals, and again at the lower left, leading a procession through the streets to intercede against the Roman plague of 680 CE, which is seen as a green monster attacking a house at the right. An angel appears with the monster (as described in the Golden Legend). The Golden Legend also describes the intervention of St. Sebastian in halting the plague. The event depicted is a symbolic precedent for a similar penitential procession authorized by Sixtus IV in 1476, although he did personally not lead it. The face of Gregory the Great, portrayed at the bottom, is actually the face of Sixtus IV. (Source: Spinks, Jennifer; Eichberger, Dagmar; Religion, the Supernatural and Visual Culture in Early Modern Europe, Lam edition (July 31, 2015), Leiden: Brill, 2015 (978-9004297265))
