Lovely, Esther! I am adding this link to my Pauline Year page. Thanks!
There is much to be said of each individual's interpretation of St Paul's conversion - and each painting has a beauty all its own.
Thanks, Esther! I hope you have a nice weekend.
Thank you for this beautiful Fine Art Friday. I enjoyed seeing all the wonderful representations of Paul by various artists.
I am especially drawn to St. Paul writing his Epistles. I can just envision him pouring over this labor of love, sweat on the brow, inspired by the Holy Spirit....
Also, love the Conversion by Caravaggio- it illustrates the real turning point in St. Paul's life and reminds us of a need for everyday an conversion that allows us to grow closer in the Lord.
God Bless!
Wonderful Evann! Glad to be able to add to your Pauline resources.
Veritas, so true! I think I like the Caravaggio one the best. How about you?
Kathy, I don't know if you noticed but none of the depictions seem to portray St. Paul the way he is supposed to have been...short of stature, bald and a hooked nose...
