About this painting
There is no horse in Acts. Luke says three times that Saul fell to the earth, and names no mount at all — yet the largest, palest, most violently alive thing in this canvas is the horse rearing over him. Vienna's own text quietly justifies it: the miracle of divine light, it says, is a drama that seizes man and animal alike. Grace arrives and the beast feels it too. The picture was painted around 1527, the year Rome was sacked.
And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
