About the Item
Oil on Canvas. School of Luca Giordano.
The scene depicts the conversion of St. Paul, as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles.
While on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, Saul (his name before his conversion), a Jew but a citizen of Rome, was suddenly enveloped in a divine light and heard Jesus' voice asking him why he was persecuting him. This event led him to convert to Christianity, taking the name Paul and devoting himself to spreading the gospel.
Saul is depicted at the moment when he is falling from his horse, which has toppled over on its side, while a beam of light dazzles him, coming from the cloud on which Christ is seated, surrounded by angels; around Paul, Roman soldiers and people from the retinue they flail about in disarray, not understanding what is going on.
The numerous figures, both human and animal, intertwine and overlap, with great dynamism, supported by vivid and bright color choices.
The work looks in style to the painting of Luca Giordano (1634 -1705), the prolific seventeenth-century artist who was able to translate the modern Baroque conception into painting with remarkable imagination and creativity, drawing on Caravaggio's naturalism and contaminating it with new Baroque trends.
His vast output gave rise to a large following of minor painters who looked to his painting style.
The painting was re-tinted in the second half of the 19th century.
Presents color falls in the lower right corner.
It is presented in a late 19th-century gilt frame.
