"Stories from the Life of St Stephen: Funeral of St Stephen" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes depicting the life of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and is located in the Prato Cathedral in Prato, Italy. The series was commissioned by the powerful Medici family, who were patrons of the arts and supporters of religious institutions during the Renaissance period.

The fresco captures the solemnity and pathos of St. Stephen's funeral procession. In this scene, Lippi's mastery in composition and his ability to convey human emotion are evident. The figures are arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye through the narrative, showcasing Lippi's skillful use of perspective and his attention to detail. The fresco is a testament to the artist's ability to blend spiritual themes with the naturalism that was becoming increasingly popular during the Renaissance.

Fra Filippo Lippi, born around 1406 and passing away in 1469, was a Carmelite friar who became one of the most admired painters of his time. His works are known for their delicate color palette, graceful figures, and the gentle humanity he brought to religious subjects. The "Funeral of St. Stephen" stands as a significant example of Lippi's contribution to religious art and his influence on the development of fresco painting in the 15th century.

The frescoes of St. Stephen's life were likely completed in the 1450s, during a period when Lippi was also working on other major commissions, including the frescoes in the Cathedral of Spoleto. The Prato Cathedral frescoes remain an important cultural and historical treasure, reflecting both the religious fervor and the artistic innovation of the Italian Renaissance.
