EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt's masterpiece, "The Stoning of St. Stephen" painted in 1625. The oil on panel artwork measures 89x123 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France. In this powerful depiction, we witness the dramatic scene of St. Stephen's martyrdom unfold before our eyes. The saint, portrayed with utmost devotion and prayerfulness, kneels amidst a hostile crowd that surrounds him. Onlookers watch with mixed emotions as stones are hurled towards him by his blasphemous persecutors. Rembrandt skillfully employs chiaroscuro to heighten the intensity of this baroque composition. Light dramatically illuminates St. Stephen's face and body while casting deep shadows on those surrounding him, creating a stark contrast between good and evil. Notably, a horseman can be seen riding through the chaos—a possible reference to Saul (later known as Paul), who witnessed this event before his conversion to Christianity. "The Stoning of St. Stephen" serves as a poignant reminder of religious persecution and martyrdom throughout history. It captures both the brutality inflicted upon believers and their unwavering faith in the face of death. Through this exceptional piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back in time to experience an emotional journey filled with sacrifice, tragedy, and ultimately hope for redemption.
