The Conversion of St. Hubert

Circle of Jan van der Straet (1523 – 1605)

A striking and atmospheric depiction of one of the most enduring legends of the Middle Ages. Saint Hubert, a nobleman devoted to the hunt, experiences a moment of profound transformation when he encounters a stag bearing a crucifix between its antlers, an event that led him to renounce his former life and enter the priesthood.

Set within a richly detailed, Italianate landscape of forests, rivers and distant castles, the composition is alive with scenes of the hunt, mounted riders, hounds in pursuit, and flashes of movement across the terrain. At its heart, however, is a moment of stillness: Hubert kneeling before the stag, caught between the world he knows and the life he is about to embrace.

Attributed to the Circle of Jan van der Straet (Stradanus), the painting brings together the energy of the hunt with a quiet, contemplative sense of spiritual awakening.
