The panel depicts the Conversion of Saul, who forms the center of the composition and is flanked by a rearing horse, placed illusionistically as if to break through the observation plane. The panel, dated to the early fifties of the 16th century, has a considerable representative value for being the first work of a narrative nature by Giulio Licinio. The author proves to be a participant, in terms of personal elaboration, of a compromise between tonal tradition and new mannerist suggestions in the use of color, sometimes dissonant and with translucent effects and which saves the impeccability of the design and plastic. It was originally believed to be the front of a caisson, but it is not excluded that it could have been part of a frieze or a more complex ornamental apparatus.
