Caravaggio The Conversion of Saint Paul – Blinding Revelation on the Road to Damascus
About the Artwork
Painted around 1600–1601 for the Cerasi Chapel in Rome, The Conversion of Saint Paul depicts Saul’s dramatic fall from his horse after being struck by divine light. Caravaggio places the viewer close to the action, with the saint’s outstretched arms bathed in brilliance against a dark backdrop. The radical foreshortening and earthy realism made it unlike traditional religious art of the time. The work captures the overwhelming force of spiritual transformation in an intimate, almost theatrical, moment of surrender.
About The Artist
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610) was an Italian Baroque painter renowned for his revolutionary use of chiaroscuro, creating dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. Rejecting idealised figures, he painted with raw realism, using models from everyday life, often infusing religious subjects with intense emotion and physicality. His works, both celebrated and controversial, influenced generations of artists across Europe. Caravaggio’s turbulent life—marked by brawls, exile, and a mysterious death—mirrored the intensity of his art, leaving a legacy that reshaped Western painting.
