O obrazu
Large hands reinforce the pose of Saint Ambrose in Claude Vignon's painting of 1623 or 1625, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis. The fourth-century bishop and scholar sits among books. A whip on the table refers to his struggle against heresy, and its three knots signify the Trinity. His clothing and gold mitre show Vignon's interest in colour during this period. The painting followed his return to Paris after more than ten years in Italy. On view in gallery G330.
Slovy muzea
Saint Ambrose, who lived in the fourth century, was an important Christian scholar and bishop. Here he is depicted among his books in a forceful pose emphasized by his massive hands. On the table’s edge, a scourge, or whip—the knotted rope attached to a wooden rod—symbolizes Ambrose’s fight against heresy. The three knots refer to the doctrine of the Trinity, the concept of one god in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. Claude Vignon made this painting upon returning to Paris after spending over a decade in Italy. The saint’s sumptuous clothing and luminous gold miter (headdress) display a delight in color typical of Vignon’s work from this period.
