"Life of St. Stephen: St. Stephen Disputing" (Italian: "Storie di santo Stefano: Disputa di santo Stefano") is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio. Created as part of a series depicting the life of Saint Stephen, this work illustrates a significant episode from the early Christian martyr's life. The painting is one of a cycle commissioned for the Scuola di Santo Stefano, a confraternity in Venice dedicated to the saint. Carpaccio, active in Venice in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, was known for his narrative style and meticulous attention to detail, both of which are evident in this piece.

The artwork captures the moment when Stephen, one of the first deacons of the Christian Church and its first martyr, engages in theological debate with members of various synagogues. The scene is set against a backdrop that reflects Carpaccio's interest in architecture and his skill in creating spatial depth. The figures are depicted in contemporary Renaissance attire, a common anachronistic practice that helped viewers of Carpaccio's time relate to the biblical story.

"St. Stephen Disputing" is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the characters and the artist's ability to convey the intensity of the debate. Carpaccio's use of color and light enhances the drama of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure of Stephen. The painting is part of a larger narrative cycle that also includes "St. Stephen's Ordination," "St. Stephen Preaching," and "The Stoning of St. Stephen," among others.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it remains an important example of Carpaccio's religious narrative works and a testament to the artistic culture of the Venetian Renaissance. The "Life of St. Stephen" series is considered one of Carpaccio's major contributions to the genre of religious storytelling in art, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
