"Paul and Barnabas at Lystra" is a 1650 painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Berchem, also known as Claes Pieterszoon Berchem. This artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 14:8-18), where the apostles Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods by the people of Lystra after they heal a lame man. Berchem, renowned for his pastoral landscapes and skilled depiction of light, infuses this religious narrative with a sense of drama and natural beauty that is characteristic of his work.

The painting showcases Berchem's talent in blending biblical storytelling with his penchant for Italianate landscapes, a style that was influenced by his study of Italian masters and his possible travels to Italy. In "Paul and Barnabas at Lystra," Berchem's use of light serves to highlight the central figures of the apostles and the healed man, drawing the viewer's attention to the miraculous event and the subsequent misunderstanding by the Lystrians.

As a notable work from Berchem's oeuvre, "Paul and Barnabas at Lystra" exemplifies the artist's contribution to Dutch art and his ability to convey complex religious themes through his distinctive pastoral settings. The painting is an important piece for understanding the intersection of religion, culture, and art during the 17th century in the Netherlands, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
