"The Conversion of Saul" Michelangelo
I think this painting is so interesting because of the way it uses light to imply power. This is something that was fairly common during this time period. Religious figures were often back-lit or being the source of light to indicate power or innocence, which is really interesting. Being back-lit is still pretty common in films and photographs and I love the way it can impact the audience and their understanding of the characters.
