"St Paul Healing the Cripple at Lystra" is a notable painting created in 1663 by the Dutch Golden Age artist Karel Dujardin. This work exemplifies Dujardin's skill in combining religious themes with the detailed realism characteristic of 17th-century Dutch painting. The painting depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 14:8-10), where Paul heals a man who had been crippled from birth in the city of Lystra. This miraculous event is a significant moment in the spread of early Christianity, symbolizing the divine power and the missionary zeal of the Apostle Paul.

Dujardin's composition captures the dramatic intensity of the miracle. The central figure of Paul, with an outstretched hand, is portrayed in a dynamic pose that conveys both authority and compassion. The crippled man, now healed, is shown in a state of awe and gratitude, his body language reflecting the miraculous transformation he has just experienced. Surrounding them are onlookers whose varied expressions of astonishment and reverence add to the narrative depth of the scene.

The painting is also notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the use of light and shadow to enhance the three-dimensionality of the figures. Dujardin's background as a landscape painter is evident in the carefully rendered architectural elements and the naturalistic setting that frames the biblical event. The artist's use of color and texture further enriches the visual impact of the work, making it a compelling example of religious art from the Dutch Golden Age.

"St Paul Healing the Cripple at Lystra" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian history. The painting not only reflects Dujardin's mastery of his craft but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious narratives in art.
