Filippo Lauri (Roma 1623-1694)
"Steinigung von Santa Stefano"

About the Item

Filippo Lauri (Rome, 1623 - 1694) "The Stoning of Saint Stephen" Oil on Canvas Framed: 55 x 72 cm Flat: 61 x 65 cm This powerful Baroque painting by Filippo Lauri, a renowned 17th-century Italian artist, captures the dramatic martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Lauri, known for his masterful compositions and theatrical use of light, vividly portrays the moment of divine revelation amidst brutality. The scene is set against a classical architectural backdrop, where the central figure of Saint Stephen, clad in golden robes, gazes toward the heavens as he is struck down. A celestial vision of angels breaking through the darkened clouds signifies his ascension, emphasizing the Baroque theme of spiritual transcendence amid suffering. The artist’s dynamic use of movement, muscular figures, and expressive gestures intensifies the emotional depth of the narrative. Lauri’s rich palette and refined brushwork align with the Roman Baroque tradition, echoing influences from Pietro da Cortona and Nicolas Poussin. The octagonal frame adds a unique historical character, enhancing its presence as a distinguished collector’s piece. A significant acquisition for collectors of Old Master paintings, religious art, and Baroque masterpieces, this work exemplifies Filippo Lauri’s refined artistry and his ability to convey sacred drama with profound visual impact.

A Conundrum in the Kitchen
By Frank Hyde
Located in Missouri, MO
Frank Hyde (British 1849-1937) "A Conundrum in the Kitchen" c. 1900 Oil on Canvas Signed Lower Left Image: 37.5 x 57.5 inches Framed: 44 x 64.5 inches From the Maidstone Museum, UK: Hyde was born in Surrey in 1849 and spent a large amount of time in London during his youth. His father had been in the army but retired to live the life of a gentleman upon inheriting the family seat, Hyde End Manor in Berkshire. Hyde, however, would later inherit and sell the Manor. As a young man, Hyde trained as an artist at the Royal Academy, London, and his subsequent career revealed striking artistic versatility. His subjects varied from the portrayal of real, dramatic events to comic characters commissioned by the card manufacturer Raphael Tuck. Starting out as a 1st Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, Hyde moved on to begin his career as a war artist during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, producing drawings for ‘The Graphic’, an illustrated weekly publication. Hyde married Constance Mary Louise Felgate in 1876, but she died less than a year later. While he travelled extensively throughout his life after Constance’s, death Hyde purchased a villa in Capri where he met Rosina Ferrara, whom he used as a model, and John Singer Sargent, with whom he shared a studio. Hyde is perhaps best known for his paintings of Capri...
