"The Stoning of St Stephen" (Bartsch 97) is a notable etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1635. This work is a compelling representation of the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. Rembrandt, known for his masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his profound ability to convey human emotion, captures the dramatic and tragic moment with striking intensity.

In this etching, Rembrandt employs his characteristic chiaroscuro technique to highlight the central figure of St. Stephen, who is depicted in a moment of divine ecstasy amidst his brutal execution. The saint is shown kneeling, with his hands raised towards the heavens, symbolizing his unwavering faith and acceptance of his fate. Surrounding him are his persecutors, their faces contorted with anger and violence, as they hurl stones at the defenseless martyr. The composition is dynamic, with a strong diagonal movement that guides the viewer's eye through the chaotic scene.

Rembrandt's attention to detail is evident in the varied expressions and postures of the figures, each contributing to the overall narrative of the piece. The artist's ability to evoke empathy and convey the spiritual transcendence of St. Stephen amidst his suffering is a testament to his skill and deep understanding of human nature.

"The Stoning of St Stephen" is part of Rembrandt's broader oeuvre of religious works, which often explore themes of faith, suffering, and redemption. This etching not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also his profound engagement with biblical stories and their moral and emotional complexities. As such, it remains a significant work within Rembrandt's artistic legacy and a poignant depiction of martyrdom in Western art.
