Deacon, stones and first martyr · Saint Stephen
Calvaert, Titian, Giaquinto and Rubens represent Stephen as a young deacon, companion of the saints and first martyr of the Christian tradition.
Stephen appears in the Acts of the Apostles among the seven men chosen to serve the first community of Jerusalem. His testimony and speech lead to condemnation by stoning, which earned him the title of first martyr. He is generally represented young, dressed in the deacon's dalmatic, holding the palm or carrying stones on his head and shoulders. Denis Calvaert integrates him into a Holy Family where his liturgical habit distinguishes his function. Titian places him with the Virgin, Jerome and Maurice in a sacred conversation unified by color. Titian places him with the Virgin, Jerome and Maurice in a sacred conversation unified by color.

The "Saint Étienne" selection notably compares The Holy Family with Saint Étienne - Denis Calvaert and The Virgin and Child with Étienne, Jérôme and Maurice - Titian. His reading favors drawing.
The stones identify Stephen, but his youth and the Dalmatian remind us that the first martyr was first chosen to serve.
