St. Stephen n.d.

Martin Schongauer's "St. Stephen" is a masterful engraving, depicting the first Christian martyr. The print shows Stephen holding a palm branch and stones in his robe, referencing his stoning. The detailed rendering of the figure's clothing and the subtle shading creates a sense of realism and depth. Schongauer, a renowned engraver of the late 15th century, was known for his precise lines and masterful use of chiaroscuro. This print is a fine example of his skill and the popularity of religious imagery during this era.
