The Holy family with St. Ambrosius and a donor is a 1520 oil by Paris Bordone, a High Renaissance work, depicting Holy Family, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
This painting depicts a serene scene of the Holy Family, with the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. To their right stands a man in red robes, possibly St. Ambrosius, while to their left is a bearded man in white, who may be a donor. The background features a landscape with trees and hills, adding depth to the composition. The artist's use of oil paint brings warmth and texture to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the tender moment between Mary and Jesus. The figures are arranged in a harmonious balance, creating a sense of calm and devotion. To explore more works like this, look into the art of Paris Bordone.
Paris Bordone (Paris Paschalinus Bordone; 5 July 1500 – 19 January 1571) was an Italian painter of the Venetian Renaissance who, despite training with Titian, maintained a strand of Mannerist complexity and provincial vigor.
