Painted by Filippo Lippi, an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, this fresco depicts the funeral of St. Stephen. Lippi, also known as Fra Filippo Lippi due to his time as a Carmelite friar, developed a style that combined the influence of Masaccio's monumental forms with a decorative flair. He was also the teacher of artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Fra Bartolomeo. The fresco shows the body of St. Stephen lying in state within a grand, columned hall. Mourners surround the body, their faces expressing grief. The architecture is rendered with careful attention to perspective, creating a sense of depth and space. The figures are draped in robes of various colours, adding visual interest to the scene. The composition is divided into two distinct halves, separated by a change in the background from a blue wall to a rocky landscape. This division may represent different locations or moments in the narrative of St. Stephen's life and death.
