The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen

Artist: Bernardo Cavallino (Italian, 1616-1656

Date: ca. 1645

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

The scene illustrates a passage from the Acts of the Apostles (7:54-60). Stephen was one of the seven deacons chosen by the Apostles to assist them; accused by the Jews, he was ordered to be stoned at the city gates, and as this was happening, his face shone, and praying, he asked God not to impute the sin to his executioners.

When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:54-60, NIV)

You used to touch me like I was holy

My muscles would melt into your quiet ease

You would count the stars running down my spine

Whisper love in my ear like a new dawn breeze

You would remind me of the beauty

That I hold to your despise

You used to touch me like I was holy

When I felt like I could not survive

Landscape with Noah, Offering a Sacrifice of Gratitude

Artist: Joseph Anton Koch (Austrian, 1768-1839). Gottlieb Schick (German, 1776-1812)

Date: 1803

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany

Description

Having survived the Flood, Noah and his family offer a sacrifice to God, who has created a rainbow above the land emerging from the waters as a sign of the new Covenant between him and mankind. Koch lived for over forty years in Rome. In his heroic landscape, inspired by the Sabine Hills, he carefully balances the relationship between nature and the Bible narrative. The representation of the dialogue between living creatures and nature was one of the achievements of this Romantic Classicist, who came to the fore in the nineteenth century as the founder of a new form of German landscape painting.
