Image description

This highly finished ink drawing depicts the dramatic moment in the biblical narrative when the fervent persecutor of Christians Saul converts to Christianity. Struck from his horse, Saul turns towards the voice of Christ who suddenly appears from the heavens. Saul’s accompanying soldiers step back from the apparition while one figure strains to help his horse to its feet. Through careful application of wash and highlighting Parmigianino creates a dynamic scene composed of highly modelled, muscular figures.
