# The Conversion of St Paul \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SOLIMENA, Francesco]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The dynamism of the centre grouping of the composition is apparent from the four horses, which are falling, bolting, and rearing, and serve as the point of origin of all the movements in the picture. Here Solimena paraphrases one of the most famous groups of horses in modern art, the one contending for the standard in Leonardo da Vinci's Battle of Anghiari. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Reign]() - [Bathsheba Bathing]() - [Battle between Lapiths and Centaurs]() - [Ceiling painting]() - [Dido Receiving Aeneas and Cupid Disguised as Ascanius]() - [Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple]() - [Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple]() - [Fall of Simon Magus \(detail\)]() - [Fall of Simon Magus]() - [Frieze \(detail\)]() - [Frieze \(detail\)]() - [General view of the sacristy]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
