The central panel of the St Ambrose Polyptych is a significant work by the Italian Renaissance painter Bartolomeo Vivarini, created in 1477. Vivarini, a member of the prominent Vivarini family of painters from Venice, was known for his contributions to the Venetian school of painting during the 15th century. The polyptych, which originally adorned the high altar of the church of Sant'Ambrogio in Alzano Lombardo, near Bergamo, is a quintessential example of Vivarini's mature style, characterized by its vivid colors, intricate details, and harmonious composition.

The central panel of the polyptych features St. Ambrose, the 4th-century bishop of Milan and one of the four original Doctors of the Church. St. Ambrose is depicted in his episcopal regalia, holding a crosier and a book, symbols of his ecclesiastical authority and scholarly contributions. The saint's serene expression and dignified posture reflect Vivarini's ability to convey both the spiritual and human aspects of his subjects. The use of gold leaf in the background and the meticulous attention to the textures of the fabrics and accessories highlight the artist's mastery of the tempera medium.

The St Ambrose Polyptych is notable not only for its artistic quality but also for its historical significance. It represents a period in which Venetian art was transitioning from the Gothic to the Renaissance style, incorporating elements of both traditions. Vivarini's work demonstrates the influence of contemporary artists such as Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini, while also showcasing his unique approach to composition and color.

Today, the central panel of the St Ambrose Polyptych is housed in the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and enthusiasts alike. The polyptych remains a testament to Bartolomeo Vivarini's skill and his contribution to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art.
