EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry Corbould's masterpiece, "The Stoning of St Stephen" created between 1810 and 1844. The image captures the essence of a dramatic biblical event from the New Testament. In this intense scene, St Stephen, a prominent figure in Christianity, kneels in prayer amidst a hostile crowd ready to unleash their fury upon him. Corbould's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the pain and anguish on St Stephen's face. Dressed in a flowing tunic with intricate ink strokes that bring life to his beard and bearded companions surrounding him, every element adds depth to this powerful composition. Displayed at the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork transports viewers back to the nineteenth century when religious themes were prevalent in art. The color palette chosen by Corbould enhances the emotional impact of this tragic moment while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but feel drawn into St Stephen's world—a man who faced persecution for his faith yet remained steadfast in his devotion until his last breath. It serves as a reminder of the strength found through prayer during times of adversity and challenges our own beliefs about religion and spirituality. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, Corbould's "The Stoning of St Stephen" continues to captivate audiences today—inviting us to reflect on our own convictions while appreciating the enduring power of art throughout history.
