"From the Baptism of Clovis I to the Deportation of the Morisques: A Journey through Religious Conversion" Religious conversion has been a pivotal force throughout history, shaping cultures and societies. In c. 1490-1510, Saint Remi baptized Clovis I in Reims, marking a significant turning point for Christianity's influence in France. The oil painting captures this transformative moment. Meanwhile, in Sapporo, a man leaves a subway station - perhaps contemplating his own spiritual journey. Just as St James once baptized Hermogenes the magician on the lateral antependium of the Altar of Saint James the Major in 1364. The power of conversion is further exemplified by St Hubert's conversion depicted in an oil panel from 1485-1490. This artwork showcases how individuals can experience profound change and find solace within their faith. Saint Boniface took it upon himself to cut down Thor's oak tree to prove that it was not sacred but rather embraced Christianity as he sought to convert Germanic pagans during his time. Similarly, Saint Augustine embarked on a mission sent by Pope Gregoire the Great to convert Anglo-Saxons like Ethelbert, King of Kent. Vladimir I played a crucial role in Christianizing Kievan Rus when he received baptism himself and imposed Christianity on his people in 988. This event forever altered religious practices within Russia. Even Alsace holds tales about Christianity's arrival; stories passed down through generations recount its impact on this region. However, not all conversions were peaceful or voluntary. In 1685 at Lodeve prison, an engraving depicts an eveque beating a Protestant woman with hopes of converting her forcefully into Catholicism - highlighting darker aspects associated with religious transformation. Spain witnessed another tumultuous period during Philip III's reign when Muslims were forcibly converted to Catholicism before being deported from Spain altogether following the signing of a treaty in 1609.
