The shipwreck of the Apostle Paul, detailed in Acts 27-28 of the Bible, occurred around 60 A.D. off the coast of Malta as he was being taken to Rome as a prisoner, resulting in survival for all 276 people aboard due to Paul’s divine message, and marked the beginning of Christianity’s strong presence on the island. The event is a significant part of Maltese history and culture, commemorated with sites like St. Paul’s Bay, though scholarly debate exists about the exact location.
Jan Luyken (1649–1712) is a well listed artist.
