Painting Description
"The Stoning of Saint Stephen" is a significant early painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1625 when the artist was just 19 years old. This work is notable for being Rembrandt's first signed and dated painting, marking the beginning of his prolific career. The painting depicts the biblical event of the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, who is recognized as Christianity's first martyr, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 7:54-60).
Measuring 89.5 by 123.6 centimeters, the painting is executed in oil on oak panel. It is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France. The composition showcases Rembrandt's early grasp of dramatic lighting and human emotion, elements that would become hallmarks of his mature style. In the scene, Saint Stephen is shown at the moment of his death, looking towards the heavens as he is pelted with stones by an angry mob. The work is characterized by its dynamic figures and the stark contrast between the light illuminating Stephen and the surrounding darkness, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the event.
As an introduction to Rembrandt's oeuvre, "The Stoning of Saint Stephen" provides insight into the artist's formative years and his early engagement with religious subjects. The painting reflects both the influence of his predecessors and his own burgeoning originality, setting the stage for his later masterpieces that would earn him a place as one of the most important figures in Western art history.
