About the piece
Painted in 1829 by Charles Thévenin, this powerful neoclassical work captures the moment of Saint Stephen's martyrdom. The composition contrasts the earthly violence of the figures in the foreground with a serene celestial vision appearing in the clouds above, showcasing the masterful drapery and lighting typical of French academic painting of the era.
