De bekering van Paulus before 1664

This etching by an unknown artist, created before 1664, depicts the conversion of the Apostle Paul. The scene portrays the moment when Paul, formerly known as Saul, is blinded by a divine light and thrown from his horse. The dramatic composition, with its intricate details and use of light and shadow, reflects the powerful impact of the event. This artwork is a fascinating example of the graphic arts of the Dutch Golden Age and offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs of the time. This piece is on display at the Rijksmuseum.
