The Mass of Saint Gregory

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, 1480/1490

This is a drawing of a religious scene featuring a crucifixion and figures in a sacred setting. There is a person in robes kneeling at an altar, appearing to be in prayer, while a figure resembling a bishop stands behind. The altar is decorated with a chalice and a set of bound books. Above the altar, there is a depiction of a crucified figure with a halo. The setting suggests an interior space with arched windows and ornate architecture indicative of a church or chapel. The colors are vivid, with bold blues, reds, and greens contrasting the beige background, creating a focus on divine themes while maintaining a sense of solemnity.
