EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Adoration of the Shepherds; Stoning of Saint Stephen," is a stunning fusion of two distinct biblical scenes from the Old and New Testaments, united by the artistic brilliance of an unknown master from the 16th or 17th century. The left side of the print showcases the peaceful and idyllic scene of the Adoration of the Shepherds, where the infant Jesus lies in the manger, surrounded by the adoring shepherds and their livestock. The serene atmosphere is in stark contrast to the chaotic and violent scene on the right, depicting the Stoning of Saint Stephen. The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen, a significant figure in early Christianity, is portrayed with dramatic intensity. A crowd of men, filled with anger and hatred, hurl stones at the defiant and unwavering Saint Stephen, who gazes upwards in a tranquil acceptance of his fate. The use of black and white, with intricate pen and brown ink and gray wash on ivory laid paper tipped onto gray wove paper, adds to the print's antique charm and creates a sense of timelessness. This artwork, with its exploration of contrasting themes and its exquisite attention to detail, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring power of religious art. The print is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
