Antique Print - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo - The Stoning of Saint Stephen this was the most detailedDESCRIPTION: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727 1804). Venetian, The Stoning of Saint Stephen, etching on laid paper. This work is inspired by the martyrdom of Saint Stephen in Acts 7. This young deacon in the Christian community of Jerusalem was condemned to death by stoning. It represents the moment when Stephen is stoned outside the city by his many tormentors (about twenty characters), and he utters his last words to Christ as the light around him
