Caravaggio

The Conversion of Saint Paul

US$ 600.00

Saul lies flat on his back, arms flung upward toward a light only he can see, while his horse and a groom occupy most of the canvas and notice nothing. Caravaggio strips the miracle of every angel and cloud the subject traditionally required, leaving a stable-yard scene lit by a single hard beam. The horse’s bulk dominating a divine revelation was, and remains, a deliberate provocation.

Artist

Caravaggio (1571-1610) transformed European painting by using ordinary, often coarse models for sacred subjects and lighting them with violent contrasts of dark and light. His life was as turbulent as his pictures — repeated arrests, a killing in Rome, years in exile in Naples, Malta and Sicily, and a death at 38 that remains unexplained. Painters across Europe imitated his manner within a generation of his death.
