"St. Stephen is Born and Replaced by Another Child" (1452-65) is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. This artwork forms part of a series of frescoes dedicated to the life of St. Stephen, located in the Prato Cathedral, Prato, Italy. Fra Filippo Lippi, renowned for his contributions to the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance, was celebrated for his mastery in depicting religious themes with a profound sense of humanity and expressiveness.

The fresco narrates a miraculous event from the early life of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr according to Christian tradition. According to the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies which was widely popular during the Renaissance, St. Stephen was switched at birth by a nurse who feared the newborn was stillborn. The narrative depicted in the fresco illustrates this divine intervention and miraculous substitution, highlighting themes of providence and the sanctity of St. Stephen's life from its very inception.

Lippi's composition is remarkable for its vivid portrayal of human emotions, the intricate details of the figures' garments, and the use of perspective, which was a relatively new artistic technique during the Renaissance. The fresco is a testament to Lippi's skill in blending narrative storytelling with theological depth, set against the backdrop of Renaissance humanism.

The "St. Stephen is Born and Replaced by Another Child" fresco is an essential piece within the corpus of Fra Filippo Lippi's work, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century Italy. It stands as a significant example of Renaissance art's capacity to convey complex biblical stories through the medium of fresco, engaging viewers with its spiritual and emotional depth.
