- Caravaggio in the Conversion on the Way to Damascus painted one of the most dramatic and intense scenes filled with symbols and an important meaning.
...and, of course, with his typical insane irreverence.

Love Love Love this painting, found out about Caravaggio in college, loved his paintings ever since.
Thank you for sharing
I love your videos! You are very insightful and erudite yet completely understandable. As for the horse showing his rear end to us, this seems to be a long tradition in Italian art. Think of the dog's rear in Mantegna's frescoes in the Camera degli Sposi; Paolo Uccello's horses in the foreground of the middle panel of the Battle of San Romano, and I'm sure many more!
Hi Gina,
Thank you so much for the compliments. I really appreciate your kind words and your insightful comment.
You're right: in Renaissance painting, we can find several examples of animals painted from behind. This is especially true in group scenes like Mantegna's Camera degli Sposi, which you correctly mentioned, or in scenes depicting battles, where we can find several horses in various poses.
However, this is precisely part of the goals of Renaissance art, which aims to represent realism as much as possible. Nevertheless, it should be noted that, in all these circumstances, none of these animals are the protagonists in the paintings/frescoes, as is instead the case with Caravaggio.
❤the genius Caravaggio
