EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Mass of St. Basil" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Pierre Subleyras between 1743 and 1747. The artwork, measuring 133.5x80 cm, is housed in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this scene, we witness a significant moment during the Feast of Epiphany as Saint Basil the Great conducts the mass. Roman Emperor Flavius Julius Valens, an Arian who had previously attempted to banish Bishop Basil due to his refusal to conform to Arianism, is depicted fainting while observing the ceremony. Commissioned by Pope Benedict XIV for St. Peter's in Rome (now Santa Maria degli Angeli), this sketch captures the solemnity and grandeur of Baroque religious artistry at its finest. The painting portrays various elements such as incense, eucharist wine and bread, priests adorned in elaborate robes, cherubs hovering above with angelic gracefulness - all contributing to an atmosphere of divine reverence. "The Mass of St. Basil" not only highlights historical events but also delves into themes of religious devotion and conflict within ecclesiastical circles during that era. Through Bridgeman Images' expert reproduction techniques, this print allows us to appreciate Subleyras' mastery from afar while offering a glimpse into one of art history's most intriguing moments captured on canvas.
