Conversion of Paul is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic battle scene with a bright light shining down on a lone figure on horseback. Around him, soldiers clash in the dark, their weapons tangled in the air. The sky is stormy, and the ground looks rough and uneven. The light seems to focus on the rider, who looks different from the others—maybe he’s the main point. The artist used fine lines to create drama and movement, almost like the scene is swirling. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
