Antonio Arellano — The Conversion Of Saint Paul
Antonio Arellano

The Conversion Of Saint Paul

Antonio Arellano's *The Conversion of Saint Paul* is a dynamic oil on canvas composition depicting the pivotal biblical moment in which Saul of Tarsus is struck down by divine light on the road to Damascus. Arellano employs rich, dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to convey the overwhelming spiritual transformation of the future apostle, with figures and animals rendered in expressive, energetic movement. The work, now mounted on a modern support, reflects the Baroque sensibility that characterized much of the religious painting produced during the artist's era.
