EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "The Stoning of St Stephen". An anonymous artist skillfully depicts this biblical event, showcasing the profound impact it had on early Christianity. The image showcases a group of men clad in vibrant tunics, their faces contorted with pain and anger as they carry out the brutal act of stoning. St Stephen, a revered saint in religious history, stands at the center of this chaotic tableau. His expression reflects unwavering faith despite his impending doom. The artist's use of color adds an extra layer to the emotional intensity portrayed; each hue symbolizes different aspects: red for bloodshed and sacrifice, blue for spirituality and divine presence.

It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as martyrdom, religious persecution, and steadfast belief even in times of immense suffering.
