Conversion of Paul

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a battle scene with fortified castles in the background. Soldiers on horseback and infantry with spears and banners engage in combat. The sky is dramatic with dark clouds and rays of light shining through. The lines are heavily inked, giving a sense of movement and chaos. The style resembles historical engravings or etchings of battles.
