EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Sts Paul and Barnabas Worshipped as Gods by the People of Lystra," was created by the Dutch artist Jacob Symonsz. Pynas in the year 1628. The scene depicts an episode from the New Testament described in the Acts of the Apostles (14:8-18), where Sts Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods by the inhabitants of Lystra in Konya, Turkey. The painting showcases a lively and dynamic composition, with a large crowd of people, both men and women, gathered around Paul and Barnabas, who are depicted in the center, seated on chairs and surrounded by offerings. Paul, identified by his distinctive bald head and holding a scroll, raises his hand in a blessing gesture, while Barnabas, with a halo above his head, looks up in surprise. The painting is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age, characterized by its rich colors and intricate details. The figures are depicted with individual expressions and postures, adding depth and emotion to the scene. The use of oil on panel allows for a smooth and velvety texture, enhancing the overall visual impact of the painting. The painting is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the seventeenth century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious art and the role it plays in shaping cultural identity.
