The Conversion of Saul with Christ and the Cross

Jacob Jordaens

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with a central figure on the ground, wearing a red and blue garment, lying on their back. Above them, a horse is rearing up on its hind legs. There are several other figures around the central figure, some on horseback and others on foot. In the top center of the image, a figure with a pink cloth and a cross is visible. The background of the painting is an arched shape with dark clouds. The color palette includes shades of brown, gray, red, and blue. The style appears to be Baroque. The overall composition is dynamic and intense. The image is signed in the bottom-right corner. The scene appears to depict a dramatic moment.
