St. Ambrose, the revered Archbishop of Milan, holds a significant place in history as a defender of faith and justice. His legacy is depicted through various artworks and stories that showcase his unwavering commitment to upholding moral values. One such portrayal can be found in the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, Austria, located in the heart of Central Europe. Here, visitors are captivated by an enchanting piece called "Theodosius Repulsed from the Church by Saint Ambrose. " Created by Johann Jakob Thurneysen the Elder between 1652-1711, this engraving vividly illustrates St. Ambrose barring Emperor Theodosius I from entering Milan Cathedral as punishment for the Massacre of Thessalonica in 390. Another remarkable artwork capturing this historic event is "The Fifth Commandment, " a captivating color lithograph that showcases St. Ambrose repelling Emperor Theodosius with great determination and conviction. Intriguingly, even centuries later, artists continued to find inspiration in this powerful moment. In "St. Ambrose; St Vincent Ferrer; St Celestin; St Lazarus" created by Jacques Callot, we see these saints united against injustice and corruption. Stunning stone sculptures like "St Ambrose driving the Arians from Milan" further immortalize his triumphs during the fourth century when he expelled heretical groups from his city. Not only was he known for defending religious principles but also for his influence on other prominent figures like St Jerome and even Augustine himself - both depicted together alongside him in German early 16th-century art titled "St Jerome and St Ambrose. " Amidst all these artistic tributes lies an enduring message: that righteousness should prevail over power or authority alone. As exemplified by St. Ambrose turning back Emperor Theodosius I at Bristol Cathedral or forbidding him entry into Milan Cathedral – it is a reminder that even the most powerful must be held accountable for their actions.
