Maître de "Los Santos Juanes" (Actif en Castille entre 1525- 1550) École gothique médiévale espagnole du XVe siècle. Monumental oil on panel measuring 145 x 95 cm in outstanding state of conservation and polychrome of origin, the scene with which this work delights us represents the painting depicts Pope St. Gregory the Great, when in the year 590 an epidemic of plague was declared in Rome, which caused numerous deaths. For this reason the Pontiff organized a great procession. Arriving at the Bridge of Helium (today the Bridge of Sant'Angelo), in front of the Castellum Crescentii (ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian), the miracle took place. Pope Gregory looked towards the top of the castle, and there he observed the great figure of the archangel St. Michael, sheathing his sword, who welcomes them, very possibly being a commemorative commission from the Archbishopric to the master from Palencia to decorate a newly built church or cathedral.
