This detail from Ambrogio Bergognone's *Polyptych in Santo Spirito* (1507) depicts a saint, likely a bishop, with a crosier and wearing a mitre. The elaborate golden embroidery on his robes and the finely painted details of his face are characteristic of Bergognone's style, which blended elements of the Lombard Renaissance with Late Gothic traditions. The use of a golden frame and the inclusion of candles on either side of the saint also suggests the devotional purpose of the artwork.
