Oval oil painting on canvas depicting Saint Stephen portrayed in a delicate and static pose, dressed in his robes, turning his eyes to the sky where a host of angels awaits him. Highly venerated by the Catholic Church, Saint Stephen was the first Christian protomartyr, that is, the first Christian to have given his life to testify to his faith in Christ and for the spread of the Gospel.
The painting is from the Bolognese area, from the mid-18th century.
Beautiful contemporary frame.
