EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Sermon, Stoning and Entombment of St. Stephen" from the Polyptych of St. Stephen and St. James the Greater, painted by Jan van Scorel in 1541. The oil on panel masterpiece is housed at the Musee de la Chartreuse in Douai, France. In this polyptych's second opening, we witness a powerful depiction of three significant moments in the life of St. Stephen. The scene begins with his fervent preaching as he captivates his audience with words that echo through time. Surrounding him are devout followers who hang onto every word spoken. However, tragedy soon befalls our saintly figure as he becomes a martyr for his faith. The image transitions to an intense stoning scene where enraged individuals hurl stones towards St. Stephen while he kneels in prayerful submission to God. Finally, we see the somber entombment of our fallen hero within a tomb adorned with grief-stricken mourners paying their respects to this religious icon. Jan van Scorel skillfully captures these pivotal moments from the New Testament narrative with great attention to detail and emotion-filled brushstrokes. This print serves as a testament to Christian devotion and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon themes of sacrifice, faithfulness, and resilience found within religious art throughout history.
