Saint Paul 1460

"Saint Paul" (c. 1460) is a manuscript illumination by the French painter Jean Fouquet. This intricate painting depicts the moment Saint Paul, thrown from his horse, is blinded by a divine light. Fouquet's work is notable for its realism and attention to detail, as evidenced in the depiction of the city in the background and the careful rendering of the figures' clothing and armor. This captivating work, housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, is a testament to Fouquet's mastery of the art of manuscript illumination.
