About the piece
Painted around 1675 by Johann Carl Loth, this striking oil on canvas depicts Saint Paul with the physical intensity characteristic of the Venetian Baroque style. The work focuses on the apostle's muscular form and pensive expression, utilizing a deep, moody palette and dramatic lighting that creates a commanding presence on the wall.
