The Conversion of Saint Paul

Hans Baldung Grien

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man falling from a horse against a background of a cityscape, hills, and clouds with divine figures. The artwork is done in a woodcut style with fine lines and detailed etching. The man looks surprised, the horse is rearing, and a town with figures and buildings is visible in the distance. The color palette is monochrome, rendered in shades of sepia.
