In a scene set at night to heighten its impact, Christ appearsin a blinding light to the Roman soldier Paul, who falls from his horse while his companions scatter. Once a persecutor of Christians, Paul is instantly converted and becomes afollower of Christ.Peter Paul Rubens exploits the full effect of this dramatic scene as panic strikes the horses and riders. The use of strong lighting and a compressed composition are typical of his work shortly after returning to Antwerp from Italy in 1608.
