Caravaggio is one of my favorite painters. In this painting Saul of Tarsus having seen an angel is thrown from his horse and becomes a Christian convert. In art throughout the ages man has taken various approaches to convey testimony and tell story, from literal story telling, to symbolism. Even landscapes can be said to be included in the realm of religious paintings. What works inspire you? How do you convey those things which cannot be easily spoken?
