EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "St. Stephen Preaching, from the Triptych of St. Stephen" by Peter Paul Rubens transports us to a momentous biblical scene. This oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 400x126 cm, is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, France. In this awe-inspiring artwork, we witness St. Stephen passionately delivering a sermon while surrounded by an audience comprising high priests and elders of the Sanhedrin. The composition exudes a sense of drama and intensity as Rubens skillfully captures the fervor with which St. Stephen imparts his message. As one of Christ's apostles and disciples, St. Stephen played a significant role in spreading Christianity during its early days. However, he faced persecution for his beliefs and ultimately became the first Christian martyr. Rubens' mastery shines through in this baroque painting as he expertly employs light and shadow to create depth and texture within each figure depicted. The rich colors used add vibrancy to the scene while highlighting the emotional weight carried by both St. Stephen and those who listen intently to his words. This remarkable image serves as a testament to Rubens' ability to capture profound religious moments with great artistic finesse. It invites viewers into an ancient world where faith was fiercely tested but remained unwavering—a timeless reminder of devotion that continues to resonate today.
