''Il Martirio di Santo Stefano'' (The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen) is a significant religious painting by the Italian neoclassical artist Pietro Benvenuti, completed in 1806. The artwork depicts the stoning of Saint Stephen, who is recognized as the first Christian martyr, or protomartyr, according to the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. Benvenuti's portrayal of this pivotal moment in Christian history is a testament to his skillful blend of classical composition with the emotional intensity characteristic of the neoclassical movement.

The painting is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the figure of Saint Stephen amidst the chaos and violence of his martyrdom. Benvenuti's composition is carefully structured, with the figures arranged to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Stephen, whose serene expression contrasts with the tumultuous scene around him. The artist's use of color and meticulous attention to detail in the drapery and figures' expressions further enhances the emotional impact of the scene.

Commissioned for a religious institution, ''Il Martirio di Santo Stefano'' reflects the religious and artistic sensibilities of the early 19th century in Italy. The painting is a prime example of Benvenuti's work during a period when he was highly sought after for his ability to convey complex narratives and his mastery of the neoclassical style, which sought to revive the aesthetic principles of classical art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, ''Il Martirio di Santo Stefano'' remains an important work in the oeuvre of Pietro Benvenuti and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance. The painting is a valuable piece for understanding the evolution of religious art during the neoclassical period and the ways in which artists like Benvenuti interpreted and represented biblical events.
