"St. Ambrose" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Matthias Stom (also known as Matthias Stomer), who was active during the early 17th century. Stom, a Northern Caravaggisti, was profoundly influenced by the dramatic chiaroscuro and intense emotional expressions characteristic of Caravaggio's work. His painting "St. Ambrose" exemplifies these stylistic elements, depicting the influential bishop and one of the four original Doctors of the Church, Ambrose of Milan, in a moment of contemplation or divine inspiration.

The artwork is rendered with a strong contrast between light and shadow, a hallmark of Stom's technique, which emphasizes the spiritual intensity of the subject. St. Ambrose is typically portrayed with iconographic attributes such as a beehive, symbolizing his eloquence and industriousness, or a whip, denoting his opposition to heresy. In Stom's interpretation, the saint may be shown with such attributes or captured in a more personal, introspective scene.

While the exact date of creation for "St. Ambrose" is not well-documented, Stom's oeuvre is generally dated between the 1620s and the 1650s. His works are characterized by their use of dramatic light, rich color palette, and the emotional depth of their religious subjects. "St. Ambrose" is considered an important work within Stom's religious portfolio, contributing to our understanding of the diffusion of Caravaggesque style throughout Europe and the adaptation of this style by artists in different regions.

The painting's current location, provenance, and historical significance within the context of Stom's career and Baroque art remain essential aspects of its scholarly study. As with many works of this period, "St. Ambrose" by Matthias Stom is not only a testament to the artist's skill and the aesthetic preferences of the era but also offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century Europe.
