"The Stoning of St. Stephen" is a significant early painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, commonly known as Rembrandt. Created in 1625, when the artist was just 19 years old, this work is notable for being Rembrandt's first signed and dated painting. The piece depicts the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, who is considered to be the first Christian martyr, as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 7:54-60).

The painting measures 89.5 by 123.6 centimeters and is executed in oil on oak panel. It is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in France. "The Stoning of St. Stephen" showcases Rembrandt's early fascination with religious themes, a subject matter that would remain prevalent throughout his career. The work is characterized by dramatic lighting and a keen attention to emotional expression, elements that would later become hallmarks of Rembrandt's mature style.

In the painting, Rembrandt illustrates the moment of St. Stephen's death as he is being pelted with stones by an angry mob, following his denunciation of the Jewish authorities. The composition is dynamic, with figures positioned at various angles, creating a sense of movement and chaos. The young artist's ability to convey the intensity of the scene and the sanctity of the martyr is evident, even at this early stage of his career.

"The Stoning of St. Stephen" is also significant for featuring a self-portrait of Rembrandt in the crowd, a practice he would repeat in other works. This inclusion has been interpreted by art historians as a means for the artist to insert himself into the narrative, reflecting on his role as both observer and participant in the scenes he depicted.

As one of Rembrandt's earliest known works, "The Stoning of St. Stephen" provides valuable insight into the development of his artistic techniques and thematic interests. It remains an important piece for studying the origins of Rembrandt's illustrious career and his contributions to the Baroque period of art.
