Artist: Pierre Hubert Subleyras (French, 1699–1749)
Original Dimensions: 54" x 31 1/8"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1746) "This is Subleyras’s highly finished proposal, or modello, for his most important commission: a design that would be translated into an enormous mosaic altarpiece for Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Subleyras depicts Saint Basil the Great (ca. 330–379) celebrating Mass in the presence of the Emperor Valens (328–378). The artist’s exceptional ability to depict white in all its tonal range is evident in the robes of the priests who surround Basil as he receives wine for Communion. The young emperor, picked out by his bright red cape, swoons dramatically in response to what he witnesses." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
