The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring these historical scenes to life, capturing the intense emotions and sacrifices made by these revered figures. Created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, and illustrator, this piece is a true masterpiece that reflects his passion for preserving medieval art and history. The lithography work done by C.R. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck further enhances the beauty and complexity of the artwork. The depiction of Thomas Becket's tragic death at the hands of assassins and St. Stephen's brutal stoning serves as a poignant reminder of the persecution faced by early Christian martyrs. These images are not only visually striking but also carry deep symbolic meaning that resonates with viewers even today.
