EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fra Angelico's masterpiece, "St Stephen Preaching" created in the mid-15th century. The painting depicts St Stephen, a deacon of the early Christian church in Jerusalem, delivering a powerful sermon to his congregation. However, this image also holds a somber significance as it portrays the moment before his tragic martyrdom. The vibrant colors and meticulous details characteristic of Italian Renaissance art are beautifully showcased in this fresco located within the Chapel of Nicholas V at the Vatican in Rome. As one gazes upon this artwork, they can almost feel transported back to medieval times when Christianity played a central role in people's lives. Fra Angelico skillfully captures both the spiritual fervor and human vulnerability of St Stephen through his brushstrokes. This print serves as a testament to not only Fra Angelico's artistic genius but also to St Stephen's unwavering faith and dedication to spreading Christianity. As we admire this historical piece, let us reflect on the enduring power of religious art and its ability to inspire generations throughout time. It reminds us that even amidst persecution and adversity, individuals like St Stephen stood firm in their beliefs until their last breath – leaving an indelible mark on history for all who follow their path.
