Paul and Barnabas at Lystra

Paul 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 sacrifice, believing that Paul and Barnabas were Mercury and Jupiter in human form. Paul, horrified, tore his clothes to prevent this. Numbered XI in the lower left corner. A two-line Latin inscription in the lower margin. Part of a series of twelve scenes from the Acts of the Apostles. Part of an album with mainly Christian subjects.
