Conversion of Paul the Apostle

Bernardo Parentino1500

Museo di Castelvecchio

Museo di Castelvecchio
Verona, Italy

This painting has a higly original but rather idiosyncratic composition, with sophisticated characters in rethorical poses dressed in fantastically orientalizing costumes and an imaginary city in the background. It evokes the memory of Piero Della Francesca filtered through the late 15th century artistic culture of the Po Valley area.
