Triomf van Waarheid en steniging van Stefanus 1657

"Triomf van Waarheid en steniging van Stefanus" (Triumph of Truth and the Stoning of Stephen) is a 1657 etching by Dutch artist Harmen de Mayer (1624-1701). The image depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Acts, in which Saint Stephen, a follower of Jesus, is stoned to death by a mob. The top half of the etching depicts Truth, personified by an angel, holding a trumpet and a crown, while the bottom half shows Stephen being stoned. The work is a powerful example of religious art from the Dutch Golden Age and is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
