# Altarpiece of St Ambrose \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VIVARINI, Alvise]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Panel ## Commentary This painting \(the Altarpiece of the Milanese\) could be described as the last triumph of the fifteenth century in the altars of Venice. In the same period Giovanni Bellini was carrying through his gentle revolution of tonal painting. Within a few years Vivarini's hard, sharp outlines and vivid colouring were completely outmoded. ## Related artworks - [Altarpiece of St Ambrose]() - [Altarpiece of St Ambrose]() - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Mary and Child with Sts Mary Magdalene and Catherine]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Resurrection]() - [St John the Baptist]() - [St Matthew]() - [St Ursula]() - [Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Child]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
