The Stoning of Saint Stephen is a 1754 ink by Johann Georg Dieffenbrunner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a dramatic scene of a man being stoned. He's surrounded by people throwing rocks at him, and there's a big cross in the background. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. The man in the center is wearing a yellow robe and has his arms outstretched. He looks like he's in pain, but he's also calm. The people around him are all different - some are angry, some are sad, and some look like they're just watching. This painting is a great example of Romanticism, a style that emphasizes emotion and drama. If you want to see more art like this, check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
