EDITORS COMMENTS
by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn is a powerful etching that captures the intense emotion and religious significance of this biblical event.

The baroque style employed by Rembrandt adds depth and intensity to the composition, highlighting both the physical suffering endured by Saint Stephen and his unwavering devotion to Christianity. This print serves as a poignant reminder of religious persecution throughout history and pays tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives for their beliefs. It stands as a testament to Rembrandt's artistic genius and ability to convey profound emotions through his work. "The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen" continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message of faith, courage, and sacrifice.
