Sanctus Paulus Apostolus

GRECO, El. Apostle St Paul. 1610-14
Oil on canvas. Museo de El Greco, Toledo
Aside from Constantine, another figure whose affect on the world was even greater. You might be tempted to say of this depiction of St. Paul, "Wow, look at the existential features in this portrait, the cloven beard, the elongation of the face, limbs, and digits--as if time we stretching him gaunt and thin." But you would be wrong to say all that. For existentialism did not exist in the 17th century. This is El Greco. Tomorrow is the Feast Day of St. Paul.

In Latin today, we are reading and studying a very important part of Roman civilization and life.
