EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful illustration by Gustave Dore depicts the tragic fate of St Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Found guilty of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin, the supreme council of the Jews, he was sentenced to death by stoning. The scene captures a pivotal moment in religious history as it is described in Acts 7:57. Dore's wood engraving skillfully conveys the intensity and gravity of this event. The intricate details and meticulous shading bring forth a sense of realism that enhances its emotional impact. Through his artistry, Dore transports us back to ancient times, allowing us to witness this solemn act unfold before our eyes. As an acclaimed French artist and illustrator for "The Bible" (London 1866), Dore's work has become synonymous with biblical imagery. His ability to capture both human emotion and divine significance is evident in this particular piece. With every stroke of his pen or chisel on wood material, he brings life to these historical figures and events. This artwork serves as a reminder not only of St Stephen's sacrifice but also highlights the complexities surrounding religion during that time period. It prompts contemplation about faith, persecution, and tolerance across different cultures throughout history. Bridgeman Images' inclusion of this print from Fine Art Finder ensures that future generations can appreciate Dore's contribution to artistic interpretations of biblical stories like St Stephen's martyrdom.
