Tintoretto

What an unusual painting, The Conversion of Saint Paul by Tintoretto from around 1545. I find it simultaneously hypnotic and very difficult to focus in and rest on any kind of central aspects to the painting. It’s like the selective intellectual, functional activity of the mind that tends to happen automatically is being somehow overridden but by an art that is itself of course extremely evolved on a intellectual, technical level.
