St. Paul, detail from the Book of Epistles, from the Sant'Emidio polyptych, 1473" is a significant work by Italian Renaissance artist Carlo Crivelli.

This masterpiece showcases a segment of a larger polyptych commissioned for the church of Sant'Emidio in Ascoli Piceno, in the Marche region of Italy. The polyptych, which depicts various saints and biblical figures, is best understood as a unified whole, but each panel, such as this one featuring St. Paul, also exists as a significant standalone artwork.

"St. Paul, detail from the Book of Epistles" focuses on the saint, famously converted from a persecutor of Christians to one of its most ardent advocates. Crivelli represents St. Paul in a highly detailed manner consistent with his style, revealing an understanding of human anatomy and early Renaissance principles of artistic realism.

The painting features St. Paul holding the 'Book of Epistles', a reference to his significant contributions to the New Testament. Paul is often credited with writing 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament, and this attribute in the painting serves to highlight this aspect of his biblical role.

Fully characteristic of Crivelli’s style, the painting presents fine detail in both the depiction of St. Paul and the surrounding elements. In addition to the lifelike figure of the saint, the painting also features an intricately rendered brocade background, a detail often seen in Crivelli's works.

While lesser known today, Carlo Crivelli was a significant figure in the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. His works, including "St. Paul, detail from the Book of Epistles", from the Sant'Emidio polyptych, 1473, are characterized by their ornamental detail, intricate iconography, and the emotive power of their human figures. His significant influence stretches well beyond his lifespan and the geographic boundaries of his native Marche.
