Bishop, doctor and moral authority · Ambrose of Milan
Botticelli, Rubens, Goya and Gozzoli represent Saint Ambrose as doctor of the Church, bishop of Milan and defender of spiritual authority in the face of imperial power.
Ambrose of Milan, bishop in the 4th century, is one of the great doctors of the Latin Church. Its iconography combines miter, crosier, book and sometimes whip or hive. Botticelli's Altarpiece of Saint Ambrose inscribes the saint in a sacred assembly where lines, colors and looks give Florentine dignity to the group. Rubens represents the famous episode where Ambrose forbids Emperor Theodosius from entering the church after the Thessalonica massacre: gestures and architecture make visible the confrontation between religious conscience and political authority. Goya isolates the saint in an episcopal portrait of great intensity. Gozzoli, in his narrative cycles, deploys the episodes of his life within lively architecture. The "Saint Ambroise" selection notably compares Scenes with Saint Ambroise - Benozzo Gozzoli and Altarpiece of Saint-Ambroise - Sandro Botticelli. His reading favors color.
Saint Ambrose embodies a word capable of resisting power: the book, the crosier and the episcopal gesture become the signs of moral authority.
