About the piece
Painted on copper in 1650 by Adriaen van Stalbemt, this intricate work captures the moment from the Book of Acts when Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods in Lystra. The composition is rich with detail, showing a white bull adorned with flowers being led toward a central altar amid a throng of onlookers and classical structures.
