Elymas Struck With Blindness
Raphael, 1483-1520 · [ca. 1750–1920]
Elymas, at right in a crowded forum attracts the attention of others as he staggers forward reaching out with both hands as he is struck with blindness. St Paul, at left, holds a book under his left arm and points towards Elymas. Sergius Paulus sits on a throne at the center of the composition. This print was made after a work by Renaissance artist Raphael, 1483-1520, which was used as a template for the creation of tapestries for the Sistine Chapel known collectively as the Raphael Cartoons. Elymas Struck With Blindness. Drawn and engraved by J. Jackson, from the Cartoon by Rafaelle at Hampton Court. Text written underneath the throne of the proconsul translates: "Lucius Sergius Paulus, Proconsul of Asia, embraces the Christian faith through the preaching of Paul."
