EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in religious history. Depicting St Stephen, the first Christian martyr, it portrays the tragic end of his life as he is found guilty of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin, the supreme council of the Jews. The image showcases Gustave Dore's exceptional talent as a French artist and illustrator for The Bible. The wood engraving technique used adds depth and texture to this somber scene. St Stephen stands tall amidst his accusers, resolute in his faith despite facing imminent punishment. This illustration from 1866 London edition of The Bible serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christians. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to Acts 7:57 when St Stephen was stoned to death for his beliefs. It is a chilling portrayal that evokes both sympathy and admiration for this courageous martyr. While contemplating this image, one cannot help but reflect on themes such as religion, justice, and persecution. It serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity and reminds us that faith can be tested even under extreme circumstances. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us into an emotional journey through history while honoring the memory of those who have paid the ultimate price for their convictions.
