A detail from Filippo Lippi's fresco cycle in Prato Cathedral, this image depicts the birth of St. Stephen with delicate figures and muted colours, characteristic of Early Renaissance painting.
This detail originates from Filippo Lippi's fresco cycle depicting the life of St. Stephen, painted between 1452 and 1464 for the Prato Cathedral. Lippi, an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, was known for his expressive figures and narrative skill. This scene captures the birth of St. Stephen, presenting a domestic interior infused with religious significance. The composition is divided into distinct planes, with the mother reclining in bed, attended by other figures. An angel, rendered in an unusual grey-green hue, presents the newborn Stephen. The figures are characterised by their delicate features, flowing drapery, and a sense of quiet contemplation. The architectural setting, though simple, provides a backdrop that enhances the human drama. The colour palette is muted, dominated by soft pinks, blues, and earth tones, which contribute to the overall serene atmosphere of the scene. The artist's attention to detail, from the tiled floor to the expressions on the faces, creates a sense of realism within the stylised conventions of Renaissance art.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
