About the piece
Painted in 1836 by Auguste Couder as a preparatory study for the church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, this oil sketch showcases the artist's masterful use of light and movement. The composition centers on Saint Stephen's peaceful resolve, beautifully contrasted with the dark, expressive figures of his executioners and the ethereal presence of a descending angel.
