EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "St. Stephen before the Judges" transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a pivotal moment of religious history. Painted by Michael Pacher around 1470, this oil on panel masterpiece is part of the Altarpiece of St. Stephen and currently resides in Musee d Art et d Archeologie in Moulins, France. In this scene, we witness St. Stephen standing before the elders of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish legislative council in Jerusalem. The atmosphere is tense as he addresses them with unwavering conviction and fearlessness. As a deacon and preacher, he passionately spreads his message despite knowing its potential consequences. Tragically, St. Stephen's fervent preaching was misunderstood by angry Jews who believed it to be blasphemy against their faith. This ultimately led to his brutal stoning death - an act depicted here as "lapide a mort". The vibrant green backdrop adds depth and symbolism to this Northern Renaissance artwork. Pacher's attention to detail captures both the intensity of St. Stephen's trial and his unyielding devotion to his beliefs. Through this powerful image, we are reminded not only of St. Stephen's martyrdom but also of our own capacity for courage when faced with adversity. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Pacher's artistic skill while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection on themes such as faith, sacrifice, and resilience that continue to resonate today.
