Survey of fictional works on [[Stephen]].
==Overview==
In the 13th century, Jacobus de Voragine's ''Legenda Aurea'' provided a detailed legendary narrative of the life and martyrdom of Stephen, supplementing the scarce data from the [[Acts of Apostles]].
The [[Stoning of Stephen]] was the most popular scene in Christian iconography, depicted by artists such us [[Lorenzo Lotto]], [[Rembrandt]], [[Peter Paul Rubens]], and many others. Other scenes, such as the [[Birth of Stephen]], the [[Consecration of Stephen]], the [[Preaching of Stephen]] and the [[Burial of Stephen]], are more seldom attested. [[Filippo Lippi]] and [[Vittore Carpaccio]] offer the most conspicuous examples of visual narratives of the life of Stephen. 
At the end of the 19th century, [[Stephen: A Soldier of the Cross (1896 Kingsley), novel]] offers the first example of modern fictional biography of Stephen and signals a shift of interest from the martyrdom to his life.
