Michelangelo was one of the best artists of his time, and still is to this day one of the best artists ever. He has many famous pieces and many that are known throughout the world. The Conversion of Saul, which is the most well known of the Pauline themes, shows Paul being thrown to the ground and shows him being blinded from a light from Heaven. In this painting, Michelangelo was showing God reaching down and finding Paul and converting him to Christianity. Paul was traveling to Damascus when God shined his light upon him. This painting was obviously the conversion of St. Paul, but it can touch all that look at it.
