"St Gregory the Great with Sts Ignatius and Francis Xavier" is a notable baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, commonly known as Guercino. Created in the 17th century, this artwork exemplifies Guercino's mastery of dramatic lighting and emotional expressiveness, hallmarks of the Baroque period. The painting depicts Pope Gregory the Great, a significant figure in the Catholic Church, renowned for his writings and for instituting the Gregorian Chant. Flanking him are two influential Jesuit saints, Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), and Francis Xavier, a missionary known for his evangelistic work in Asia.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed to convey a sense of hierarchy and spiritual importance. St Gregory is typically shown in the center, with a papal tiara, symbolizing his authority and his role in the Church. St Ignatius and St Francis Xavier are often depicted in dynamic poses, reflecting their active roles in the spread of Catholicism and the Counter-Reformation. Guercino's use of color, light, and shadow not only enhances the drama of the scene but also serves to highlight the spiritual radiance of the figures.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of three key figures who shaped the direction of the Catholic Church during tumultuous times. It is a testament to Guercino's ability to fuse the spiritual with the artistic, creating a work that is both visually arresting and rich in religious symbolism. The painting remains an important piece for the study of Baroque art and the Counter-Reformation period, offering insight into the era's religious fervor and the role of art in promoting the Catholic faith.
