"Paul on the Island of Malta" is an 18th-century painting by Dutch artist Cornelis Troost, known for his genre works and pastel technique. The painting depicts a scene from the biblical narrative in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 28:1-6), where Paul the Apostle, having been shipwrecked, is unharmed by a venomous snake on the island of Malta. This event is considered miraculous by the island's inhabitants, who initially thought misfortune would befall Paul after the snakebite.

Troost's work captures the moment with dramatic effect, showcasing his skill in rendering human expressions and the interplay of light and shadow. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to convey narrative and emotion, characteristics that have made his works appreciated for their theatricality and vividness.

The painting is significant for its historical and religious subject matter, as well as its place within Troost's oeuvre. It reflects the artist's Dutch Golden Age influences, even as it was created in a later period. "Paul on the Island of Malta" is an example of Troost's engagement with biblical themes, which were popular among patrons of the arts during his time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is known that Cornelis Troost was active during the first half of the 18th century, and his works are often dated to the 1720s to the 1750s. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception would provide further context but may not be readily available. If displayed in a museum or part of a private collection, this information would be pertinent to the painting's history and accessibility to the public.

As an artist, Cornelis Troost is recognized for his contributions to Dutch art and his unique position as a bridge between the Golden Age and the modern period. "Paul on the Island of Malta" remains an important work for understanding his artistic legacy and the continuation of biblical themes in European art.
