"St Stephen is Born and Replaced by Another Child (detail-1)" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi, created between 1452 and 1465. This artwork forms part of a series of frescoes depicting the life of St. Stephen, located in the Prato Cathedral in Prato, Italy. Fra Filippo Lippi, renowned for his narrative skill and attention to detail, was commissioned to decorate the choir chapel with scenes from the life of the first Christian martyr, St. Stephen.

The fresco in question captures a pivotal moment in the hagiography of St. Stephen, illustrating the miraculous nature of his birth and the divine intervention that marked his early life. According to legend, St. Stephen was switched at birth with another child, a narrative element that Lippi portrays with a blend of realism and reverence. The detail of the fresco shows the newborn saint being replaced by another child, a scene imbued with symbolic meaning and indicative of the saint's future significance.

Lippi's work is characterized by its graceful figures, the use of perspective, and the clarity of composition, which were innovative for the time and reflective of the early Renaissance style. The fresco is notable for its vivid portrayal of human emotion and the use of light and color to enhance the storytelling. As with many of Lippi's frescoes, this detail from the life of St. Stephen demonstrates the artist's ability to convey complex theological concepts through art.

The "St Stephen is Born and Replaced by Another Child (detail-1)" is an important work within the context of Renaissance art, exemplifying the period's shift towards more lifelike and emotionally resonant depictions of religious subjects. It remains a significant piece within Fra Filippo Lippi's oeuvre and contributes to the rich artistic heritage of the Prato Cathedral.
