"St. Ambrose 339-97, c.1633-39" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Matthias Stomer, also known as Matthias Stom. Stomer, who was active during the early to mid-17th century, is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes the contrast between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This painting, created between 1633 and 1639, exemplifies Stomer's mastery of this technique and his ability to convey intense emotional and spiritual experiences through his art.

The subject of the painting, St. Ambrose, was a significant figure in early Christianity, serving as the Bishop of Milan from 339 to 397 AD. He is remembered for his influential role in the development of Christian theology and his staunch opposition to Arianism. Stomer's depiction of St. Ambrose captures the saint in a moment of deep contemplation or prayer, a common theme in Baroque religious art that seeks to evoke a sense of piety and devotion.

In "St. Ambrose 339-97," Stomer employs a rich, dark palette, with the figure of St. Ambrose emerging from the shadows, illuminated by a soft, almost ethereal light. This use of light not only highlights the saint's serene and focused expression but also serves to draw the viewer's attention to the spiritual intensity of the scene. The detailed rendering of the saint's robes and the subtle play of light on the fabric further demonstrate Stomer's technical skill and his ability to create a lifelike and immersive image.

This painting is a testament to Stomer's ability to blend naturalism with dramatic intensity, a hallmark of the Baroque period. It reflects the artist's deep engagement with religious themes and his talent for capturing the inner life of his subjects. "St. Ambrose 339-97" remains an important work within Stomer's oeuvre and a significant example of 17th-century Dutch religious painting.
