"The Sermon of St Stephen" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, delivering a sermon, presumably before his accusation and subsequent stoning to death.

The fresco is notable for its harmonious color palette and the serene depiction of the figures, which is characteristic of Fra Angelico's style. He was known for his devout spirituality and his ability to imbue his religious subjects with a sense of calm and divine presence. "The Sermon of St Stephen" exemplifies Fra Angelico's skill in combining the spiritual message with artistic elegance, using perspective and architectural elements to frame the scene and guide the viewer's attention to the central figure of St. Stephen.

Fra Angelico's work at the Convent of San Marco was commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici, the powerful ruler of Florence and a great patron of the arts. The frescoes were intended to serve as devotional images for the Dominican monks who inhabited the convent, and they reflect the order's spiritual values and teachings. "The Sermon of St Stephen" is part of this larger body of work that helped establish Fra Angelico's reputation as a master of fresco painting and a key figure in the development of the Italian Renaissance.

Today, the fresco remains in situ in the Convent of San Marco, now the San Marco Museum, and continues to be admired for its artistic beauty and historical significance. It is a testament to Fra Angelico's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through his art.
