"Conversion of St. Paul" (1555) is a fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter Cristofano Gherardi, also known as il Doceno. This work is part of a series of frescoes created by Gherardi in the cloister of the Camaldolese monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma, Italy. The fresco depicts the biblical event of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, who later became known as Saint Paul, an event that is recounted in the Acts of the Apostles.

The artwork illustrates the dramatic moment when Saul, on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, is struck by a divine light and experiences a vision of Jesus Christ, leading to his conversion to Christianity. Gherardi's rendition of this pivotal moment in Christian history is notable for its dynamic composition and the use of vivid colors, which are characteristic of the Mannerist style that emerged in the late Renaissance.

Cristofano Gherardi was a contemporary of Giorgio Vasari and shared with him the decorative and expressive ideals of the time. In "Conversion of St. Paul," Gherardi demonstrates his skill in creating a sense of movement and emotional intensity, which is further enhanced by the use of perspective and the interaction of the figures within the scene.

The fresco is an important example of Gherardi's work and contributes to the understanding of Mannerist art in the context of religious narratives. It reflects the artist's ability to convey complex theological themes through powerful visual storytelling, a talent that made him a sought-after artist for ecclesiastical commissions during the 16th century.
