EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Stoning of St. Stephen, c. 1100" by the Mosan School. Measuring 7.5x9.6 cm, this delicate ivory and bone plaque is housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. Depicting the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, this ancient artwork holds immense historical and religious significance. The worn smoothness of the plaque suggests its previous use as part of a reliquary box or casket. Originating from the Mosan art style prevalent in present-day Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany during medieval times, this piece exemplifies Romanesque elements with its high relief and intricate detailing. Intriguingly captured within this image is a scene where St. Stephen kneels in prayer amidst his persecutors who prepare to stone him to death for his unwavering faith. This poignant portrayal evokes both admiration for his courage and sorrow for his impending fate. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and devotion that transcends time itself. It serves as a testament to Christianity's early struggles while inspiring contemplation on themes such as forgiveness and redemption. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this twelfth-century masterpiece but also its profound spiritual narrative that continues to resonate today.
