"Procession of Gregory the Great to End the Plague in Rome" is a notable illuminated manuscript painting by the French artist Jean Colombe, created in the late 15th century. The artwork is a depiction of a historical event involving Pope Gregory the Great, who was the head of the Catholic Church from 590 to 604 AD. According to tradition, during his papacy, a devastating plague struck Rome, and Gregory the Great organized a penitential procession to implore divine intervention to end the scourge.

Jean Colombe, renowned for his detailed and vibrant illuminations, was active in the latter half of the 15th century, with his work spanning from around 1463 to 1498. He is best known for his contribution to the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous and luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages. In "Procession of Gregory the Great to End the Plague in Rome," Colombe captures the solemnity and fervor of the religious procession with a keen eye for detail and a rich palette that reflects the style of the time.

The painting is significant both for its artistic merit and for its historical portrayal of a pivotal moment in the life of one of the most important figures in the early Catholic Church. It serves as a visual record of medieval religious practices and the societal impact of epidemics, as well as an example of the devotional art that was an integral part of the cultural landscape of the period.

Colombe's work is characterized by its intricate detail, use of vivid colors, and incorporation of architectural and landscape elements that provide context and depth to the narrative scene. "Procession of Gregory the Great to End the Plague in Rome" is a testament to Colombe's mastery of the illuminated manuscript form and his ability to convey complex historical and religious themes through his art.

The painting remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Jean Colombe and is studied for its artistic techniques, its contribution to the understanding of late medieval devotional practices, and its reflection of the societal challenges faced during times of plague. It continues to be an object of interest for art historians, scholars of religion, and those fascinated by the interplay between art and history.
