The Stoning of Saint Stephen - Biblical Woodcut Illustration #3423724 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a finely detailed black-and-white woodcut, likely from the 16th century, portraying the martyrdom of Saint Stephen as recounted in the Book of Acts. Central figures include Stephen, kneeling with a radiant halo and hands raised in prayer, while men around him raise stones; one prominent figure lifts a rock overhead. In the background, onlookers-including women and elders-and architectural elements like stone walls and a distant tower evoke a Judean setting, reinforcing the biblical narrative’s authenticity and emotional gravity.
