''The Mass of Saint Basil'' is a significant religious painting by the French artist Pierre Subleyras (1699–1749). Created in the 18th century, this artwork is renowned for its depiction of Saint Basil the Great, a fourth-century Greek bishop and theologian, celebrating the Divine Liturgy. The painting is a masterful example of Subleyras' skill in capturing the solemnity and spiritual intensity of religious ceremonies.

Subleyras, who was born in Uzès and trained in Paris, moved to Rome in 1728 after winning the Prix de Rome. It was in the artistic and cultural environment of Rome that he painted ''The Mass of Saint Basil''. The work is particularly noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the spiritual and emotional depth of the scene. Subleyras' attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the various materials, from the rich vestments of the clergy to the humble attire of the laypeople, contribute to the painting's realism and its capacity to draw the viewer into the narrative.

The composition of ''The Mass of Saint Basil'' is carefully structured, with Saint Basil as the focal point, surrounded by a congregation that reflects a range of human responses to the sacred event. The painting not only serves as a religious icon but also as a historical document, providing insight into the liturgical practices and ecclesiastical hierarchy of the time.

''The Mass of Saint Basil'' is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an exemplar of religious painting in the Baroque period. Subleyras' work captures the essence of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through art that is both emotionally resonant and visually compelling. The painting remains an important part of Subleyras' oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its place within the broader context of European religious art.
