EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Christian history - the martyrdom of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr in the 1st century. Created by an unknown artist from the school of Umbria during the 14th century, this illuminated lettrine is housed in the Biblioteca Civica in Citta di Castello, Italy. The image showcases a powerful scene of violence and devotion. St. Stephen is depicted with an aureole surrounding his head, symbolizing his holiness and divine connection. The initial letter illuminates the manuscript, drawing attention to this pivotal event. The stoning of St. Stephen was a brutal act carried out by those who opposed Christianity during its early days. This depiction serves as a reminder of the persecution faced by early Christians for their faith. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this miniature bring life to this biblical scene from Acts chapter 7. It not only tells a story but also reflects on important themes such as sacrifice and religious conviction. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture allows us to appreciate this historical artwork that holds immense cultural and religious significance within its medieval context. Through her lens, we are transported back to a time when faith was tested through violent acts yet remained steadfast amidst adversity.
