Dionysius the Areopagite Converting the Pagan Philosophers is a 1570 oil by Antoine Caron, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows a group of people in old-fashioned clothes gathered around a woman. She's wearing a long red dress and has her right arm raised. The group is standing on a white platform in front of a cityscape with tall buildings and a river. The sky above is cloudy and orange, with a big yellow sun. In the foreground, there are some objects on the ground, including a small baby sitting on a blue cloth. The woman seems to be talking to the group, and they're all looking at her. The scene is very detailed, with lots of textures and colors. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist Antoine Caron.
