Bekering van Paulus c. 1540 - 1572

"The Conversion of Paul" is a 16th-century engraving by Pieter van der Heyden. The print depicts the moment when Saul (later known as Paul) is blinded by a light from heaven and falls from his horse. This powerful moment in Christian scripture is beautifully captured by the detailed composition and expressive figures. The print was likely made for a religious audience and showcases the dynamic narrative of the story. This engraving is a significant example of Dutch printmaking from the 16th century and demonstrates van der Heyden's ability to capture dramatic action through engraving.
