The conversion is small and nearly hidden. The Kunsthistorisches Museum points out that Bruegel sets his main scene inside a larger one: an army struggling into impassable mountains.
Acts tells how Saul, on the road to Damascus, hears the voice of Jesus; the museum describes him falling from his horse, blinded by a beam of light. Here that fall happens in the middle of the march.
Some have read the column as the Duke of Alba crossing the Alps in 1567, a reading the museum reports is mostly rejected. Bruegel signed the rock at lower right: BRVEGEL. M.D.LXVII.

And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him. And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
