この彫刻について
This sculpture, along with that of Saint Lawrence (1959.42) and two others in Germany, are believed to be the remaining fragments of a large altarpiece carved by Riemenschneider for the Dominican convent in Rothenburg in Franconia (demolished in 1813). Saints Stephen and Lawrence both wear the dalmatic to indicate their status as deacons in the early church. Each holds a symbol of his martyrdom; here, Saint Stephen cradles some stones to indicate his death by stoning. Art in Germany through the early 1500s remained firmly anchored in the late Gothic style with its associated interests in realism. Riemenschneider was one of the most prolific and versatile sculptors of this style, a recognized master in both stone and wood. His flourishing workshop employed as many as 40 apprentices in sculpting, woodcarving, and painting. His sculptures are noted for the dreamy, melancholy, and introspective quality in their expressions, as well as their remarkable attention to detail.

Twelve apprentices and stonemasons in one workshop
His workshop has twelve apprentices, and woodcarvers and stonemasons work side by side, which in other cities with separate guilds was impossible. Other accounts say twelve apprentices were registered between 1501 and 1517, and that in 1508 he stated that three stone sculptors worked for him.

Elected to the Würzburg town council
He becomes a member of the sub-council (Unterrat) of the town, an office he holds until 1525 (other accounts say for about twenty years); it gives him social status and helps him obtain many large and profitable commissions.
