The study deals with the specific common iconography of the Four Great Western Church Fathers in the Czech Middle Ages in the wider ecclesiastical historical context. Development of the cult of the Four Great Western Church Fathers, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Jerome and St. Gregory the Great, arrived after the year 1295, when Pope Boniface VIII. proclaimed them to the Doctors of the Church. The visual depictions of the Church Fathers on art monuments became a visible expression of this artificially created cult. Between medieval Bohemian Art monuments survived to nowadays 14 common depictions of the Church Fathers from the middle of the 14th century to the beginning of the 16th century. The images of the Four Great Western Church Fathers were the personification of the Holy Church, therefore they were portrayed as high Church dignitaries. Saint Ambrose usually as a bishop with the mitre, St. Augustine as a bishop with the mitre, St. Jerome as a cardinal with the cardinal’s hat and St. Gregory the Great as a pope with the tiara.
