The Conversion of St Paul
Imagine riding high on your horse as you are about to kill a few more Christians. You are thrown onto the ground and blinded by the light. See how a horse is the feature of this painting and how Paul was made lower than the animals. This humbling experience is used by Caravaggio to give hope to the hopeless.
