The Conversion of Saint Paul is a compelling religious painting created by Parmigianino in 1527, now housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Executed on canvas using oil paints, this artwork exemplifies the Mannerism (late renaissance) style, characterized by elegant elongated forms and ornate details.
