Paul and Barnabas at Lystra. Cartoon
Raphael (after) 1483 - 6 Apr 1520
Summary
An image of the moment when the people of Lystra, impressed when Saints Paul and Barnabas heal a cripple (seen on the right), mistake them as gods Mercury and Jupiter and prepare to make sacrifices in their honour before Paul and Barnabas beg them to stop. This print is in reverse and after one of the so-called Raphael Cartoons owned by the Queen, seven full size designs for tapestries by Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (1483-1520). They illustrate stories from the Bible about the lives of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
