“Conversion of St. Paul”
Amerighi da Caravaggio
Amerighi da Caravaggio painted the Conversion of Saint Paul for
the Cerasi Chapel in the Roman church of Santa Maria del Popolo.
Caravaggio depicted Saint Paul at the moment of his conversion,
lying on his back with his hands thrown up in the air and his eyes
closed. The old hostler in the background seems not to notice, as
his is preoccupied with the horse, and not focused on Paul. This
painting in very different from other paintings of religious scenes.
A viewer who has never seen this painting before might easily
mistake the scene for a simple accident at a stable. Because of this,
Caravaggio has often been criticized for the ordinariness of his
religious depictions.

STONE The familiar stone types that are used today are
identified through four categories:
SEDIMENTARY, METAMORPHIC, IGNEOUS
STONE, and ARTIFICIAL.
SEDIMENTARY
Sedimentary stone came from organic elements such
as glaciers, rivers, wind, oceans, and plants. Tiny
sedimentary pieces broke off from these elements
and accumulated to form rock beds. Examples of
sedimentary stones include limestones, sandstones,
travertine.
METAMORPHIC
Metamorphic stone originates from a natural change
from one type of stone to another type through the
mixture of heat, pressure, and minerals. The change
may be a development of a crystalline formation, a
texture change, or a colour change. Metamorphic
stones include marble, slate and serpentine.
IGNEOUS
Igneous stones are mainly formed through volcanic
material such as magma. Underneath the earth
surface, liquid magma cooled and solidified. Mineral
gases and liquids penetrated into the stone and
created new crystalline formations with various
colours. Granite and basalt are prime examples of
igneous stone.
ARTIFICIAL
Artificial stone is produced by mixing marble
powder, resin and pigment, and then cast using the
vacuum oscillation to form the block. Cutting,
calibration, grinding and polishing are then done to
output the slabs. Some factories have developed a
special low-viscosity, high strength polyester resin,
5
with which the mound-pressing artificial marble has
high hardness, strength, good gloss, low water
absorption, wear resistance. Terrazzo,
conglomerated or cultured stones are some of
artificial stones.
COLOR
Color is the visual element that has the strongest
effect on our emotions. Color creates mood or
atmosphere of an artwork.
