dbo:abstract
  • The Stoning of Stephen is a tempera and gold leaf painting by Philotheos Skoufos. Skoufos was active on the island of Crete. He traveled to Venice and eventually settled on the island Zakynthos. He was briefly a priest at the famous Greek church in Venice San Giorgio dei Greci. Nineteen of his works have survived. Skoufos created notable copies of Damaskinos's paintings namely The Stoning of Stephen and The Beheading of John the Baptist. Saint Stephen was the first martyr of Christianity and is considered a protomartyr. The protomartyr was stoned to death for following the Christian faith. The painting is a depiction of that scene. The Stoning of Stephen is a nearly identical copy of Damaskinos's work. The tempera painting is 1/3 smaller than the original masterpiece. There are four paintings that identically resemble his work created between 1640-1707 signed by master painters. Skoufos created two of them. This version is the most notable and in the best condition. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper was restored due to surviving copies of his work created by other artists. The copy of the Mona Lisa is known as the Prado Mona Lisa. The copy of Damaskinos's massive work can be found at the Metsovo Folk Art Museum in Metsovo, Ioannina, Greece. It was formerly part of the Dionysios Loverdos Collection. (en)
