"Christus verschijnt aan Paulus in het legerkamp" is a 16th-century etching by Johann Sadeler I depicting the biblical story of the conversion of Saint Paul. The artwork captures the moment when Jesus appears before Paul, who is blinded by a divine light and falls to the ground. The scene is set in a mountainous landscape with a large army in the background, emphasizing the dramatic and supernatural nature of the event. This piece is typical of the religious prints produced in the late Renaissance, blending realism with a heightened sense of drama.
