The print showcases a scene from the New Testament, depicting the tragic fate of St. Stephen, a prominent figure in Christianity. In this heart-wrenching portrayal, we witness Stephen's unwavering faith as he faces persecution for his beliefs. Surrounded by an enraged mob, he stands tall and resolute despite knowing that his life is about to be taken away. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the moment as stones rain down upon him, symbolizing both physical and spiritual torment. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by early Christians who faced immense adversity for their devotion to Christ.
