EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th-century print depicts the transformative moment of Saul's conversion as described in the New Testament book of Acts (9:1-22). Saul, then a zealous persecutor of Christians, is seen here on the road to Damascus, where he encounters a brilliant light and the voice of Jesus Christ. The event marked a pivotal turning point in Saul's life, leading him to become the renowned apostle Paul, a key figure in the spread of Christianity. The print, created in the late 1600s, showcases the dramatic intensity of the conversion experience. Saul, dressed in the robes of a Pharisee, is shown falling off his horse in shock and awe, as he is struck blind by the divine light. The horse rears up in fear, adding to the chaos of the scene. In the background, the city of Damascus is depicted with its towering walls and gates, symbolizing the larger world that Saul would soon enter as a follower of Christ. The rich details of the print, including the intricate patterns on Saul's clothing and the textured representation of the horse's mane, serve to bring the biblical narrative to life. The use of bold lines and contrasting colors further emphasizes the dramatic nature of the event. This print is a testament to the power of faith and the transformative impact it can have on an individual's life.
