Description : Sant'Ambrogio con san Vittore
Oil painting on canvas. Lombard school of the seventeenth century. First canvas and mounted on original frame. Set in a prison, the scene features Sant'Ambrogio bishop who directs the person on his right to the sky, a soldier with the Cross around his neck, identifiable as San Vittore, a Roman soldier originally from Mauritania, who served in Milan at the time. of Maximian, and who was martyred for his Christian faith. It was the Milanese bishop who recounted the life and martyrdom of the saint in one of his writings and who spread the cult. On the left is another probable martyr of the faith, who witnesses the proclamation of beatitude by his cellmate; around, numerous other figures of condemned. The octagonal painting probably belongs to a series dedicated to the cult of the Holy Bishop of Milan. The canvas needs restoration and cleaning, presenting several stains and cuts (a tear in the center, others minor on the sides).
