Paulus' omvendelse 1564

This is a preparatory drawing, "Paulus' omvendelse", created by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Campi in 1564. The piece is a study for a larger painting. It depicts the conversion of St. Paul, a crucial moment in Christian history. The drawing features a dynamic composition, with figures and horses in a whirlwind of motion, all converging on the falling St. Paul. Campi masterfully uses the medium of pen and ink to capture the drama and intensity of the scene, creating a sense of depth and movement. The drawing is an example of Campi's skill and understanding of anatomy and figure drawing, a characteristic of High Renaissance art. The artwork is now held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
