"Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Refusing Emperor Theodosius Admission to Milan Cathedral" is a significant historical painting by Theodor Boeyermans, a prominent Flemish Baroque painter. This artwork, dating from the 17th century, captures a pivotal moment in Christian history, illustrating the moral and spiritual authority of the Church over secular powers. The painting depicts the confrontation between Saint Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan, and Roman Emperor Theodosius I, following the Massacre of Thessalonica in 390 AD.

Theodor Boeyermans, known for his dramatic and expressive style, masterfully conveys the tension and the moral gravity of the scene. The artwork serves as a visual representation of the Church's stand on justice and the accountability of rulers. Saint Ambrose is depicted with a commanding presence, barring the emperor from entering the cathedral as a form of penance for his actions, emphasizing the theme of repentance and the power of the Church to impose it, even on the highest secular authority.

This painting not only showcases Boeyermans' skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey complex narratives, but also reflects the socio-political and religious dynamics of the time. It is a testament to the enduring conflict and dialogue between spiritual and temporal powers, making it a subject of interest not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical and cultural significance.
