Saint Ambrose, c. 1796-1799. Creator: Francisco de Goya (Spanish, 1746-1828)
Saint Ambrose, c. 1796-1799. This work belongs to a series depicting Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory, key figures of early Catholicism. Saint Ambrose (about AD 340-391), the bishop of Milan, resolved important theological conflicts within the church and worked effectively with advocates of Roman paganism. The low viewpoint and large scale suggest that this painting hung high on the wall of a religious institution, but its original location remains unknown. In the late 1700s, Spain expelled all the Jesuits and sparked a transformation of the church. Many of these reformers turned back to early church history for inspiration, and this painting was probably commissioned by one of these new organizations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Saint Ambrose" a remarkable work of art created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya between 1796 and 1799. Part of a series depicting key figures in early Catholicism, this particular piece focuses on Saint Ambrose (AD 340-391), the influential bishop of Milan. Goya skillfully captures Saint Ambrose's significance within the church by portraying him as a resolver of theological conflicts and an effective collaborator with advocates of Roman paganism. The painting's low viewpoint and grand scale suggest that it once adorned the walls of a religious institution, although its original location remains unknown. During the late 1700s, Spain experienced significant changes within its church due to the expulsion of all Jesuits. This event sparked a transformative period where reformers sought inspiration from early church history. It is likely that one such organization commissioned Goya to create this masterpiece. The oil-on-canvas artwork exudes Goya's signature style and attention to detail, showcasing his mastery in capturing both physical likeness and spiritual essence. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate not only Goya's artistic brilliance but also delve into an important era in Spanish religious history. Heritage Art/Heritage Images presents this stunning image for our enjoyment, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage embedded within each brushstroke and inviting us to reflect upon Saint Ambrose's enduring legacy in Catholicism.
