"Saint Paul on Malta" is a notable painting by the French artist Michel I Corneille, who was an influential figure in the 17th-century Baroque art movement. Corneille, born in 1601 and passing in 1664, was renowned for his religious and historical compositions, and his works often reflected the dramatic intensity and emotional depth characteristic of the Baroque period.

The painting depicts the biblical event of Saint Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta, as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 28. According to the narrative, Paul, then a prisoner en route to Rome, was shipwrecked but miraculously survived along with all aboard. Upon reaching the shore, Paul was bitten by a viper but suffered no harm, which led the islanders to believe he was a divine figure.

In "Saint Paul on Malta," Corneille captures the moment of Paul's miraculous survival and the subsequent awe of the Maltese people. The composition is marked by dynamic movement and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, typical of Baroque art. Corneille's use of chiaroscuro enhances the emotional intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Saint Paul, who is depicted with a serene and composed demeanor amidst the chaos of the shipwreck and the astonishment of the onlookers.

The painting is a testament to Corneille's skill in rendering complex narratives with clarity and emotional resonance. His ability to convey the spiritual significance of the event through expressive figures and meticulous attention to detail underscores his reputation as a master of religious art. "Saint Paul on Malta" remains an important work within Corneille's oeuvre and a significant example of 17th-century French Baroque painting.
