The Mass of Saint Gregory is an exquisite altarpiece created by the Spanish painter Nicolás Francés, who was active during the 15th century. This artwork is a significant example of Gothic painting in Spain and reflects the intricate religious iconography and stylistic elements characteristic of the period. Nicolás Francés, originally from France, brought with him the influences of the International Gothic style, which he adeptly blended with local Spanish artistic traditions.

The altarpiece depicts the miraculous event known as the Mass of Saint Gregory, a popular subject in medieval Christian art. According to legend, Pope Gregory I, also known as Saint Gregory the Great, experienced a divine vision during a Mass. As he was consecrating the Eucharist, Christ appeared on the altar, surrounded by the instruments of the Passion, to affirm the doctrine of transubstantiation—the belief that the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Christ during the Mass.

Nicolás Francés's rendering of this scene is notable for its detailed and expressive figures, as well as its rich use of color and gold leaf, which were typical of the Gothic style. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye towards the central miraculous event, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the moment. The altarpiece not only serves as a devotional image but also as a didactic tool, reinforcing the theological tenets of the Catholic Church to the faithful.

The Mass of Saint Gregory by Nicolás Francés is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical value. The work exemplifies the fusion of French and Spanish Gothic styles and stands as a testament to the religious fervor and artistic skill of the period.
