Ambrose Archbishop Delivering Doctor Enrique Milan Parent Written 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century miniature painting depicts Saint Ambrose, Doctor of the Church and archbishop of Milan, delivering his collected works to a reverent parent. Saint Ambrose, born in 339 AD, was a renowned theologian, philosopher, and political figure whose influence extended beyond the borders of Italy. He is shown here in his ecclesiastical robes, with an open book in hand, symbolizing his dedication to the written word and the dissemination of knowledge. The recipient of the works, a humbly dressed parent, represents the faithful who sought to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith through the teachings of the great Doctor. The upper section of the painting features the coat of arms of Guicciardi de Pavic, the patron who commissioned the work. Enrique de Bellorto, a Spanish artist, was responsible for both writing and illustrating this volume, which is part of a larger set of Saint Ambrose's works. The Gothic art style is evident in the intricate details of the figures, the use of rich colors, and the ornate borders. This painting, now housed in the National Library of Madrid, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Ambrose and the importance of knowledge and learning during the Middle Ages.
