# The Conversion of Paul [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUJARDIN, Karel]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 187 x 135 cm ## Commentary Dujardin's painting was inspired by a print of the same subject by Antonio Tempesta. He painted a couple of monumental history pieces with equally large figures in the early 1660s: St Paul Healing the Cripple at Lystra \(Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam\) and Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness \(Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota\) All these painting evince the masterly skill of the artist in a class of art, which, had he pursued it exclusively, might have raised him to the same distinguished eminence which he enjoys as an animal painter. ## Related artworks - [A Party of Charlatans in an Italian Landscape]() - [Allegory]() - [Calvary]() - [Cows and Sheep at a Stream]() - [Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness]() - [Horseman Holding a Roemer]() - [Italian Comedians]() - [Italian Landscape with a Young Shepherd]() - [Italian Landscape with Elegant Riders and Fishermen]() - [Italian Landscape with Herdsman and a Piebald Horse]() - [Italianate Landscape with Travellers on Horseback]() - [Landscape in the Roman Campagna]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
