The Stoning of Saint Stephen is a 1635 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic crowd of people gathered around a man on the ground. The man’s arms are stretched out, and he looks upward as if in pain. The people around him are dressed in flowing robes, some with their hands raised or clenched, while others seem to be pushing forward or holding stones. Notice how the artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The scene feels urgent, almost like a moment frozen in time.
