EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense and tragic scene of "The Stoning of St. Stephen" from the Hours of Louis d'Orleans, created by Jean Colombe in 1469. The artwork, housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, depicts a pivotal moment in Christian history. In this powerful image, we witness St. Stephen kneeling in prayer as he faces his martyrdom. Surrounded by a hostile crowd, spectators hurl stones at him with deadly aim while saints and onlookers watch in horror and disbelief. The illumination technique used by Colombe brings an ethereal quality to the scene as rays of light filter through the manuscript's foliate border. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout this masterpiece; every figure conveys raw emotion and tension within their expressions and body language. The vibrant colors add depth to each character's role within this dramatic narrative. "The Stoning of St. Stephen" serves as a poignant reminder of religious persecution and sacrifice endured by early Christians during a time when faith was tested against adversity. This print captures not only the artistic brilliance but also evokes contemplation on themes such as devotion, resilience, and human cruelty. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical treasure for all to admire without commercial use restrictions – allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its significance for generations to come.
