Ambrosius Stub

[1] Stub was born in Gummerup on the island of Funen, but his exact birth date is unknown.

[2] Five years later, Ambrosius Stub moved to Ribe, where he kept close company with Bishop Hans Adolph Brorson.

[citation needed] In this poem he describes the beginning of spring from the point of view of a sinister poet.

He wrote several religious hymns, like Jeg ser dit kunstværk, store Gud (I see your work of art, oh Lord) and Lyksalig endte da min frelser sine dage (In bliss my saviour ended his days).

His body was buried in the cemetery of St. Catherine Priory in Ribe where a bronze monument designed by Per Kirkeby was erected in his memory on a grant by the New Carlsberg Foundation in 2003.

It features a square frame in which a stump of a tree is surrounded by the remains of a capital with acanthus leaves, a fragment of a column, two rococo mirrors, and a number of wedges.
