Specialist note

Luca Cambiaso is not known to have painted the Conversion of Saint Paul, yet he treated the subject in his graphic work. Several autograph drawings of the subject survive (Luca Cambiaso, op. cit., nos. 11, 51, ill.), and an even larger number of replicas by the workshop are known (ibid., no. 60, ill.). These drawings demonstrate the scale, the variety of hands and the skills in Cambiaso’s workshop and among his followers.
