The Conversion Of Saint Paul, A Large 17th-century Bronze Plaque In High Relief
A large bronze plaque in high relief with a medal-colored patina depicting the conversion of Saint Paul.
Background:
In the Acts of the Apostles, Paul’s conversion is mentioned in three different places, and this experience is described in much greater detail there than in the epistles. The Acts describe the conversion as an event that took place while Paul was on his way to Damascus. Jesus appeared to him in the form of a light, and as a result of this vision, he fell to the ground and was struck blind. Paul was then taken to Damascus, where he was baptized three days later by Ananias, who at the same time restored his sight, having been commanded by God to welcome him into the community of believers. The three accounts of this conversion are found in Acts 9:3–9, 22:5–11, and 26:13–19. The first is recounted by the author of Acts, while the other two are recounted by Paul himself, when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem and later in Caesarea. Some have believed they detected irreconcilable differences, but an analysis of Greek grammar puts an end to these disputes.
