The stoning of the martyr St Stephen

79 x 59 cm

Panel paintings numbered 55.97, 55.98 and 55.99, showing the stoning of St. Stephen, the martyrdom of St. Lawrence and the beheading of St. John the Baptist, originally adorned the inner, feast-day side of the movable wings of the same winged altarpiece. The panels’ original workday sides were sawed off.

During restoration in the 1970s, the works were placed on new supports.

Provenance

The museum purchased the panels on the art market in 1941.

Restauration

We have no exact information on the restoration of panel, but its two companions were restored in the 1970s.
