Saint Stephen in the Synagogue

The artwork Saint Stephen in the Synagogue is a painting created in 1562. It is currently held at the Museo del Prado and measures 1.23 meters in width and 1.6 meters in height. The painter of this artwork is currently unknown.

The painting depicts a scene with Saint Stephen at its center. He is surrounded by a group of men within a grand, classical building, possibly a synagogue. Stephen, with a halo around his head, gestures towards a man seated to the right, who holds a book. The men surrounding Stephen appear to be engaged in a heated discussion or debate, with some pointing fingers and others looking on with concern. The architecture of the building frames the scene, and a distant landscape with a tall obelisk can be seen through the archway behind.
