Aldo PagliacciStoning of Saint Stephen (San Stefano)1955
1955
About the Item
Tempura on wood panel mounted on wood stretcher
A difficult scene of the stoning of St. Stephen rendered by Aldo Pagliacci in a surreal manner. The bloodstained wall evokes the work of Cy Twombly, an abstract painting all its own, while the saint lies in graceful repose in the foreground.
Pagliacci is considered a romantic realist painter whose surrealistic landscapes often show groups of semi-clad and attractive depersonalized youths which suggest the artist's alienation as a gay man. This painting of Saint Stephen, the first martyr of Christianity, is part of a small group of paintings he made in the 1950s and early 1960s which expresses his anger towards religious orthodoxy. The martyr is depicted with 3 stones behind his head which is part of the traditional iconography associated with him.
His work can be compared to Eugene Berman (1899-1972) and Giorgio de Chirico (1888 - 1978) who both painted empty and forlorn landscapes evocative of emotional longing.

A conceptual surrealist painting in a muted color scheme, this work makes the viewer think about the juxtaposition of subject matter present in attempt to piece together a logical narrative that appears to be out of reach. Two hands poke out from beneath an undulating sandy landscape. One rests upon the ground's surface, the other sticks straight up, delicately holding a baby bottle...
