Conversion of Paul (Bruegel) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Conversion of Paul (Bruegel)
''Conversion of Paul'' is an oil-on-panel by Flemish renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, painted in 1567. It is currently held and exhibited at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. ==Description== Bruegel shows Paul's army on its way to Damascus in contemporary dress and with 16th century armour and weapons. The saint himself is in a blue doublet and hose of the painter's day. Bruegel, having lived in Italy, was not unfamiliar with classical dress: his intention in representing biblical scenes in contemporary dress was to stress their relevance to his own time. In view of the persecution and counter-persecution of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, the story of Paul's conversion had special significance.〔See (Grove Art Online )〕 The events are described in ''The Acts of the Apostles'' 9, 3-7: Bruegel is not only illustrating the biblical text; he is also stressing the need for faith and condemning the sin of pride.〔Cf. Pietro Allegretti, ''Brueghel'', Skira, Milano 2003. ISBN 0-00-001088-X 〕
