EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Apotheosis of St. Ambrose (347-397) study for the decoration of the Invalides" transports viewers to a world where divine glory and celestial beauty intertwine. Painted by Bon de Boulogne in the 17th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. In this enchanting scene, we witness St. Ambrose's elevation to divine status as he ascends towards heaven surrounded by a host of angelic beings. The circular composition adds a sense of harmony and balance to the artwork, emphasizing the spiritual significance of his ascent. Bathed in radiant light, St. Ambrose stands at the center with an aura of serenity and grace. His robes billow around him as if caught in an ethereal breeze, symbolizing his transcendence from earthly matters to heavenly realms. The baroque style employed by Boulogne infuses drama into every brushstroke, capturing both the grandeur and solemnity associated with early church fathers like St. Ambrose. As Bishop of Milan during his lifetime, he played a crucial role in shaping Christian doctrine and spirituality. This exquisite study serves as a testament to Boulogne's artistic prowess and ability to convey profound religious themes through visual storytelling. It invites us to contemplate our own spiritual journey while marveling at the splendor that awaits those who ascend towards divinity.
