EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the tragic fate of Stephen, an apostle of Christianity. In 36 AD, Stephen was stoned to death for fearlessly preaching the teachings of Christ amidst intense persecution. This hand-colored woodcut is based on a remarkable illustration by Gustave Dore from the 19th century. The image transports us back to ancient Jerusalem, where mob violence and religious conflict were rampant. As a devoted disciple and missionary, Stephen faced relentless opposition from those who adhered to Judaism and rejected his message of salvation through Jesus Christ. This poignant artwork serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by early Christians in their unwavering commitment to spreading their faith. It also sheds light on the turbulent history that shaped not only Palestine but also the entire Middle East region. With its rich historical context and biblical significance, this vintage print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the profound impact religion has had throughout centuries. The martyrdom of Saint Stephen stands as a testament to both human resilience and unwarranted suffering endured for one's beliefs. North Wind Picture Archives presents this powerful piece as part of its collection dedicated to preserving moments from ancient history that continue to resonate with audiences today.
