"Pope Gregory the Great before the Virgin" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci, created in the late 17th or early 18th century. Sebastiano Ricci, born on August 1, 1659, in Belluno and died on May 15, 1734, in Venice, was an influential painter of the late Baroque period. His work is characterized by its vibrant color, dynamic compositions, and a skillful blend of Venetian and Roman styles.

The painting depicts Pope Gregory I, also known as Saint Gregory the Great, who was pope from 590 to 604 AD and is revered as a Doctor of the Church and a Latin Father. He is most famous for instigating the first recorded large-scale mission from Rome, the Gregorian Mission, to convert the then-pagan Anglo-Saxons in England to Christianity. Gregory is often portrayed in art with the dove of the Holy Spirit, symbolizing divine inspiration, and is recognized for his contributions to the liturgy of the Roman Mass, which led to the naming of "Gregorian chant" in his honor.

In Ricci's work, Pope Gregory is typically shown in a moment of divine communion or contemplation before an apparition of the Virgin Mary. The painting is a testament to Ricci's mastery of religious subjects and his ability to convey spiritual intensity and emotional depth. The exact composition, location, and current ownership of "Pope Gregory the Great before the Virgin" are not detailed here, but such works are often found in religious institutions or private collections and are sought after for their artistic and devotional significance.

Sebastiano Ricci's contributions to the development of the Rococo style, which would flourish in the 18th century, are evident in the dynamic movement and ornate detail present in his religious paintings. "Pope Gregory the Great before the Virgin" exemplifies Ricci's talent for creating powerful religious narratives that resonate with viewers through their expressive figures and dramatic use of light and color.
