The Conversion Of Saint Paul (rosand & Muraro 16)
This monumental woodcut, produced in the circle of the great Venetian master Titian, dramatically depicts the pivotal biblical moment of Saint Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, with figures and horses rendered in dynamic, turbulent movement. Printed from four separate blocks onto four joined sheets, the large-scale composition showcases the bold, expressive line work characteristic of the Venetian woodcut tradition of the early sixteenth century. This good impression, dating to circa 1515-20, retains evidence of the block's history through its uneven printing and visible wormholes, lending the work an authentic sense of age and rarity.
