This small, detailed engraving by Christoffel van Sichem depicts the biblical story of the conversion of Paul. The scene shows a radiant Jesus appearing to Paul, who is kneeling in chains surrounded by soldiers. Van Sichem skillfully uses light and shadow to emphasize the divine presence of Christ and the transformative experience of Paul. The engraving, created before 1646, is a testament to the artist's mastery of printmaking and his ability to portray religious narratives with depth and emotion. This artwork is a significant example of 17th-century Dutch religious art and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
