"Saint Paul Preaching at Ephesus" is a significant 17th-century oil painting by French artist Eustache Le Sueur, a prominent figure in the French classical school of painting. Created between 1649 and 1650, this work is part of a series of paintings depicting the life of St. Paul, which were originally commissioned for the Oratory of the Louvre in Paris. The painting measures 3.95 meters high by 3.13 meters wide, showcasing Le Sueur's mastery of large-scale religious compositions.

The artwork illustrates a pivotal moment from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 19:8-10) in the New Testament, where the Apostle Paul is seen fervently preaching the Gospel to the inhabitants of Ephesus, an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia. The scene captures the intensity of Paul's mission to spread Christianity, as well as the varied reactions of his audience, which range from rapt attention to skepticism.

Le Sueur's treatment of the subject is notable for its clarity of narrative and harmonious composition. The figures are arranged in a semi-circular formation around the central figure of Paul, who is depicted with a commanding presence and an expressive gesture. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the drapery and physical expressions of the figures, imbues the scene with a sense of drama and realism characteristic of the Baroque period.

"Saint Paul Preaching at Ephesus" is admired for its historical and artistic significance, reflecting the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century France. The painting is also an important example of Le Sueur's work, which, despite his relatively short life, had a lasting impact on the development of French painting. Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its portrayal of an important biblical event.
