"The Stoning of St Stephen" (b., Holl.97; H.125; Bb.35-a) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1635. This work is a poignant and dramatic depiction of the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, as described in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. Rembrandt, known for his masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his deep psychological insight, captures the intense moment of Stephen's execution by stoning with remarkable emotional depth and technical skill.

In this etching, Rembrandt employs his characteristic chiaroscuro technique to highlight the central figure of Stephen, who is shown kneeling in prayer, his face illuminated by a divine light that contrasts starkly with the surrounding darkness. The composition is dynamic, with the figures of the executioners and onlookers arranged in a semi-circle around Stephen, their expressions and gestures conveying a range of emotions from anger to sorrow. This arrangement not only draws the viewer's eye towards the central figure but also creates a sense of movement and tension within the scene.

Rembrandt's attention to detail is evident in the varied textures and intricate lines that define the figures' clothing, the stones, and the landscape. The etching also reflects Rembrandt's interest in human anatomy and his ability to convey the physicality and weight of the human body, as seen in the muscular forms of the executioners and the contorted posture of Stephen.

"The Stoning of St Stephen" is a testament to Rembrandt's ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through his art. It stands as a significant example of his early work in etching, showcasing his innovative approach to printmaking and his deep engagement with biblical themes. This etching not only highlights Rembrandt's technical prowess but also his profound ability to capture the human condition, making it a compelling piece within his extensive oeuvre.
