EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Ambrogio da Fossano, also known as Il Bergognone. Titled "Ordination of St. Augustine" this tempera on panel masterpiece captures a significant moment in history with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The scene depicted is the consecration of Saint Augustine, who would later become a revered Doctor of the Church. The painting transports us to a church interior filled with solemnity and reverence. A bishop, adorned in his ceremonial robes and mitre, stands at an ornate altar while performing the sacrament of ordination. Every element within this composition has been meticulously crafted by Il Bergognone's skilled hand. From the delicate brushstrokes that bring life to each figure present to the meticulous rendering of architectural elements such as columns and arches, every detail contributes to creating a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, our eyes are drawn towards the central figure - Saint Augustine himself - whose expression reflects both humility and devotion. Surrounding him are other clergy members participating in this sacred ceremony. With its small dimensions measuring 31.5x33.5 cm, this artwork can be admired up close without losing any impact or grandeur it possesses. Currently housed in Galleria Sabauda in Turin, Italy, it serves as a testament to Il Bergognone's talent and continues to inspire viewers from around the world with its timeless depiction of faith and spirituality.
