The Conversion of St. Paul, a pivotal event in Christian tradition, recounts the dramatic transformation of Saul of Tarsus, a zealous persecutor of early Christians, into one of Christianity's most influential figures. As Saul journeyed to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus, he was struck by a blinding light and heard the voice of Jesus asking, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" This encounter led to Saul's conversion, during which he experienced a profound change of heart and embraced the teachings of Jesus Christ. After his sight was restored by Ananias, Saul, now known as Paul, became a fervent preacher of the Gospel, traveling extensively and playing a crucial role in the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. The Conversion of St. Paul symbolizes the transformative power of faith and serves as a testament to the possibility of redemption and divine intervention in human lives. Artist: Gustave Dore - Engraved by: Ligny. Print Size: 9 3/4 ins x 7 3/4 ins Overall Size: 12 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins. 1870 Wood Engraving after the painting of Gustave Dore. Paul Gustave Dore (1832-1883), famous French illustrator, engraver, painter, and sculptor. He is best known for his highly imaginative and dramatic illustrations. At first he did his own engraving on wood, but as his success grew, his later work was done in collaboration with numerous engravers. His lively illustrations for some 120 books, including Paradise Lost, the Divine Comedy (1861), Don Quixote (1862), the Bible (1866), Balzac's Droll Tales, the works of Rabelais, the Fables of La Fontaine, and other classics, are still admired. He particularly excelled in weird, fantastic scenes. Less popular today are his works in painting and sculpture. This quality engraving originates from an 1870 art publication with a collection of plates, giving some idea of the variety as well as the power of Dore's genius.
