Pintura Milagro de las abejas y el infante San Ambrosio de Fra Filippo Lippi

His father considered this a sign of his future eloquence and honeyed tongue. For this reason, bees and beehives often appear in the saint's symbology. Patron Saint of bee keepers; bees; candle makers; domestic animals; wax refiners, etc. Feast Day December 7. http://www.frafilippolippi.org/Miracle-of-the-Bees-of-the-Infant-St-Ambrose.html Fra Filippo Lippi (1406 - October 8, 1469), also called Lippo Lippi, was an Italian painter of the Italian Quattrocento (15th century) school. Lippi was born in Florence to Tommaso, a butcher. Both his parents died when he was still a child. Mona Lapaccia, his aunt, took charge of the boy. In 1420 he was registered in the community of the Carmelite friars of the Carmine in Florence, where remained until 1432, taking the Carmelite vows in 1421 when he was sixteen. In his Lives of the Artists, Vasari says: "Instead of studying, he spent all his time scrawling pictures on his own books and those of others," The prior decided to give him the opportunity to learn painting. Eventually Fra Filippo quit the monastery, but it appears he was not released from his vows; in a letter dated 1439 he describes himself as the poorest friar of Florence, charged with the maintenance of six marriageable nieces.

Este fin de semana fue el memorial de San Ambrosio, Santo patrón de la apicultura, abejas, colmenas y fabricación de velas. La leyenda que un enjambre de abejas se instaló en su cara mientras dormía como un bebé en su cuna, dejando atrás una gota de miel. Su padre considera un signo de su elocuencia futuro y lengua meloso. Esta pintura de Fra Filippo Lippi representa la escena.
