More about this artwork

Eustache Le Sueur's compelling 17th-century painting, titled "Saint Paul Exorcizing a Possessed Man," brings a dramatic biblical scene to life with exquisite detail and emotional intensity. This artwork captures a moment from the Acts of the Apostles in which Saint Paul, dressed in a striking red cloak, performs an exorcism. His authoritative gesture directs the viewer's attention towards a young man, who appears tormented and is supported by onlookers. The possessed man, draped in a vibrant blue cloth, is depicted in a state of collapse, his body twisted in anguish.The setting of the scene is classical, with architectural elements and statues that suggest the interior of a Roman building, underscoring the historical context of early Christian miracles performed in a predominantly pagan society. Various figures surround the central act, each displaying a range of emotions from awe to fear, contributing to the narrative’s intensity.Le Sueur’s mastery of color and composition is evident, as the contrasting red and blue fabrics not only guide the viewer's eye but also emphasize the dramatic tension between spiritual struggle and divine intervention.
