Anthony van Dyck painted the dramatic confrontation between Emperor Theodosius and Saint Ambrose. The bishop bars the emperor from Milan Cathedral after a massacre. This moment became a symbol of spiritual over temporal power.
Van Dyck brings theatrical tension to the historical scene. This work hangs at the National Gallery in London.
