The Tomb of Pope Gregory XIII is a significant funerary monument located within St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Created by the prominent Baroque sculptor Camillo Rusconi, the tomb honors Pope Gregory XIII, who is best known for commissioning the Gregorian calendar, the calendar currently in use today. Rusconi, an esteemed artist of his time, was entrusted with the task of creating this monument, which stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the early 18th century.

Completed in the year 1723, the tomb is a masterpiece of marble sculpture, showcasing Rusconi's skill in rendering lifelike figures and his ability to imbue stone with a sense of dynamism and emotion. The monument features a central statue of Pope Gregory XIII, depicted in a commanding pose, with allegorical figures surrounding him that represent virtues or themes associated with his papacy. The tomb's design is characteristic of the Baroque period, with its emphasis on movement, rich detail, and theatricality.

The commissioning of the tomb was part of a broader trend during the Counter-Reformation, where art was used to convey religious and political messages, and to glorify the Catholic Church and its leaders. As such, the Tomb of Pope Gregory XIII not only serves as a memorial to the pope but also as a piece of religious propaganda, reflecting the power and influence of the papacy during that era.

Today, the tomb is admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. It attracts scholars, art enthusiasts, and visitors from around the world, who come to St. Peter's Basilica to view the many artistic treasures it houses, including Rusconi's contribution to the legacy of papal monuments. The Tomb of Pope Gregory XIII remains a vital part of the basilica's artistic heritage and continues to be studied for its stylistic and iconographic contributions to Baroque art.
