Sull’opera
In the museum's own words — the original
De heilige Stefanus knielt op de grond terwijl mannen stenen naar hem gooien. Deze voorstelling dient ter illustratie van het gebod Gij zult de naam van God niet misbruiken. De hoofdpersoon Stefanus wordt volgens het bijbelverhaal gestraft door het gerechtshof van de joden maar juist vanwege zijn eerbied voor (de naam van) God: hij is een martelaar. Deze gebeurtenis past dus eigenlijk niet goed in de serie.
