Created in the early 16th century, this work is part of a series of canvases depicting the life of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, commissioned for the Scuola di Santo Stefano in Venice. Carpaccio, known for his narrative skill and attention to detail, presents a vivid tableau of the ordination ceremony with a richness that reflects the splendor of the Venetian Republic at the time.

The painting is characterized by its grand scale and the use of vibrant colors, which was typical of the Venetian school. Carpaccio's composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye across the scene, capturing the solemnity and significance of the event. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was innovative for the period, showcasing Carpaccio's mastery of depicting human emotion and interaction.

Set against an architectural backdrop that reflects the grandeur of contemporary Venetian buildings, the work is also notable for its detailed portrayal of liturgical objects and vestments, providing a glimpse into the religious practices and material culture of the era. The inclusion of various onlookers and secondary scenes within the painting adds layers of narrative depth, inviting contemplation of the broader social and spiritual context of St. Stephen's ordination.
