Painting Description
"The Stoning of St 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, which measures 89.5 by 123.6 centimeters, is executed in oil on oak panel and is notable for being Rembrandt's first signed painting. It is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France.
The painting depicts the biblical scene of the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, who is considered to be the first Christian martyr according to the Acts of the Apostles. Rembrandt's treatment of the subject matter is remarkable for its dramatic intensity and the use of chiaroscuro—a technique he would become famous for—which highlights the contrast between light and dark to enhance the narrative and emotional impact of the scene.
In "The Stoning of St Stephen," the young Rembrandt demonstrates his burgeoning skill in composition and his ability to convey human emotion. The work is characterized by a dynamic arrangement of figures and a keen attention to detail, both in the expressions of the characters and the depiction of the stoning itself. The painting serves as an important indicator of the artist's early promise and provides insight into the development of his style, which would later evolve into the mature and deeply introspective works that define his oeuvre.
As Rembrandt's first known piece, "The Stoning of St Stephen" holds a special place in art history, marking the beginning of the career of one of the most celebrated artists of the Dutch Golden Age. Its presence in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon allows for the appreciation and study of Rembrandt's early artistic endeavors and contributes to the understanding of his artistic evolution.
