EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painting by Pieter Brueghel II dit le Jeune, depicting the momentous event of Saint Paul's conversion on his journey to Damascus. The artwork is based on an engraving by Lucas de Leiden from 1509 and beautifully captures the essence of this biblical story. In the painting, we witness Saul de Tarsus, who would later be known as Saint Paul, falling off his horse after being struck by a divine light emanating from Christ. This transformative encounter led to Paul's spiritual awakening and subsequent conversion to Christianity. Symbolically, his blindness represents the spiritual darkness he experienced prior to this life-altering event. Painted in oil on canvas during the 17th century, Brueghel II dit le Jeune masterfully brings this pivotal moment to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. The Musee des Beaux Arts de Lille proudly houses this remarkable piece of art that continues to inspire viewers with its profound religious significance. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this image through his lens, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and historical importance of Brueghel's work. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of Saint Paul's incredible transformation and how faith can illuminate even the darkest corners of our lives.
