EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of "Frontal with St. Ambrose defeating the Aryans" by Giuseppe Rusnati, located in the Cappella di Sant'Ambrogio within the Church of the Carthusian monastery of Pavia. The artwork itself is a stunning example of Late Baroque, Baroque, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that dominated Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. The image showcases a low relief bas-relief depicting an intense scene from Christian history. In this momentous event, St. Ambrose triumphs over his adversaries, symbolizing victory against heresy as he defends his faith against Aryan beliefs. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece: from the expressive figures to their meticulously crafted clothing and accessories. A prominent figure in this composition is St. Ambrose himself, portrayed as a powerful bishop wearing a tiara miter atop his head - a symbol of his authority within the Christian religion. Surrounding him are angelic beings providing divine support as he engages in battle with soldiers representing opposing ideologies. The photograph was taken around 1890 but captures an artwork created between 1693-1695 by Giuseppe Rusnati – an accomplished artist known for his contributions to late baroque and renaissance-baroque styles. Through this print captured by Brogi from Alinari, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind "Frontal with St. Ambrose defeating the Aryans" but also delve into its historical significance as it reflects both religious devotion and cultural influences prevalent during its creation centuries ago.
