A Yale lecture in the series Let This Be a Lesson examines Garofalo's painting The Conversion of Saint Paul, a recent acquisition by the Yale University Art Gallery. The speaker walks through how the Renaissance artist stages the moment on the road to Damascus, when Saul is struck blind and converts to become Paul, tracing the composition's use of light and darkness to convey spiritual transformation. The lecture considers Garofalo's choices of gesture, color, and figure grouping against the biblical narrative in Acts, and asks what the painting's treatment of the episode signifies for understanding the early Church and for the devotional expectations of its original viewers. Close visual analysis anchors the fifty one minute talk, moving between details of the canvas and the historical and theological context that shaped its Ferrara workshop origins.
