EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint Stephen, painted by the renowned artist John Everett Millais in 1895 and published in 1926. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, depicting Saint Stephen peacefully asleep with his eyes closed. Clad in vibrant robes that exude rich colors, he is surrounded by the tranquil ambiance of a moonlit night. The painting beautifully portrays the religious significance of Saint Stephen within Christianity. With a halo adorning his head, symbolizing his saintly status, this depiction pays homage to his role as one of the first Christian martyrs. Asleep and at peace, he represents devotion and unwavering faith even during times of adversity. Millais' attention to detail is evident through every brushstroke, capturing both historical accuracy and artistic brilliance. The print's inclusion in "An Outline of Christianity" further emphasizes its importance as an integral part of our civilization's story. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from the early 20th century, we are transported back to a different era - the roaring twenties - where art flourished amidst societal changes. This particular print serves as a testament to Sir John Everett Millais' mastery as an artist and reminds us of the enduring power that religious imagery holds throughout history.
