Saul on the Road to Damascus 1691 - 1727

This oval-shaped oil painting by Johann Sigismund Ebert, titled "Saul on the Road to Damascus," is a beautiful example of Baroque art. The central oval depicts the biblical scene where Saul, a persecutor of Christians, is blinded by a vision on his way to Damascus. This is surrounded by a garland of flowers, adding a decorative element to the piece and contrasting the darker central scene. The painting, created between 1691 and 1727, is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
