About this work

Paulus and Barnabas had healed a man who could not walk. The priest of the temple of Jupiter and his followers wanted to offer bulls as a gift, because they were under the impression that Paulus and Barnabas were Mercury and Jupiter in human form. Paulus tore his clothes in horror to prevent this. Below the image a two-line Latin text. This print is part of an album.
