Image description

Within the story of the conversion of Saint Paul this image captures a slightly later scene than the one on the other side of the sheet. Here, Paul is shown responding to Christ, his kneeling posture and gesture already expressing submission to his new vocation. The broader, calmer use of wash corresponds to the less dramatic character of the composition. In the background, rolling hills and a linear representation of the city of Damascus foreshadow Paul’s symbolic re-entry as a converted sinner.
