St Gregory the Great is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Bicci di Lorenzo. Born in 1373, Bicci di Lorenzo was an influential painter of the early 15th century, recognized for his contributions to the Florentine art scene. His works are characterized by their adherence to the Gothic tradition while also incorporating elements of the emerging Renaissance style. St Gregory the Great is a prime example of his skill in religious iconography and his ability to convey the sanctity and authority of ecclesiastical figures.

The painting depicts St Gregory the Great, one of the most significant popes in the history of the Catholic Church, who served from 590 to 604 AD. St Gregory is renowned for his contributions to the development of the medieval Church, including the Gregorian Chant, which bears his name. In Bicci di Lorenzo's portrayal, St Gregory is typically shown in papal regalia, emphasizing his status and role within the Church. The artist's attention to detail in the depiction of the vestments and the serene, contemplative expression of the saint reflects the reverence with which he approached his subject matter.

Bicci di Lorenzo's use of color and composition in St Gregory the Great is indicative of the transitional period in which he worked. The painting combines the decorative richness of the Gothic style with a nascent naturalism that would come to define Renaissance art. The background, often adorned with gold leaf, serves to highlight the divine nature of the subject, while the more realistic rendering of the figure itself points towards the evolving artistic techniques of the time.

St Gregory the Great by Bicci di Lorenzo remains an important work for understanding the progression of Italian art from the Gothic to the Renaissance period. It exemplifies the blend of tradition and innovation that characterizes much of Bicci di Lorenzo's oeuvre and offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 15th-century Florence.
