EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of St Peter ordaining St Stephen Deacon in the mid-15th century. Created by the renowned artist Fra Angelico, this artwork showcases a significant event in early Christian history. St Stephen, a devoted deacon of the Jerusalem church, was tragically condemned for blasphemy by the Sanhedrin and subsequently stoned to death, becoming Christianity's first martyr. The fresco is located within the Chapel of Nicholas V at the Vatican in Rome, dedicated to both St Stephen and St Laurence. The vibrant colors and meticulous details characteristic of Fra Angelico's work bring this historical scene to life. In this image, we witness St Peter bestowing his blessing upon a kneeling St Stephen as he receives his holy ordination. The painting not only serves as a visual representation of religious devotion but also reflects Italy's rich artistic heritage during the Renaissance period. It transports us back to an era when faith played an integral role in society and art served as a powerful medium for storytelling. Fra Angelico's mastery shines through every brushstroke, capturing both the solemnity and significance of this sacred ceremony. This print allows us to appreciate not only his talent but also commemorate these revered saints who have left an indelible mark on Christian history.
