EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Stoning of Saint Stephen" by the renowned Spanish Baroque artist Antoni Viladomat i Manalt, depicts a dramatic and poignant biblical scene. Painted between 1722 and 1737, the artwork is currently housed in the Matarasilica of Saint Mary in Spain. The painting captures the moment of Saint Stephen's martyrdom, as he is stoned to death by a mob of angry men. The scene is set outdoors, with the warm sunlight casting long shadows and adding depth and texture to the image. The vibrant colors of the painting bring the scene to life, with the reds and browns of the robes and stones contrasting against the cool blues and greens of the sky and foliage. The composition of the painting is vertical and upright, drawing the viewer's eye upwards towards the heavens, where Saint Stephen's face is turned in a serene and peaceful expression, as if in communion with God. The child in the foreground, looking up at the scene in awe, adds a sense of scale and perspective to the painting. The Baroque style of the painting is evident in the dramatic use of light and shadow, the intricate details of the clothing and facial expressions, and the sense of movement and energy in the scene. The painting is a testament to Viladomat i Manalt's mastery of the Baroque art tradition and his ability to evoke emotion and spirituality through his use of color and composition.
