History

This painting was one of five scenes representing the life of Saint Stephen, painted between 1511 and 1514 for the Scuola dei Lanieri, Santo Stefano (Venice).[1] The series was broken up in 1806, when the religious houses were suppressed.[2] Two panels went to the Brera Gallery, Milan; in 1812, Vivant Denon exchanged some of the northern paintings in the Louvre for Italian works in the Brera, and one of these panels was transferred under this arrangement. Another is in Berlin; one has disappeared, and the fifth is in Stuttgart.[3]

The Sermon of Saint Stephen the deacon, represented in this Louvre painting, took place in Jerusalem. This gave Carpaccio an excuse for filling his canvas with picturesque oriental costumes and architecture. Jerusalem in the early days of Christianity is here identified as Constantinople (actually Yoros Castle on the opposite side of the Bosphorus ) - a fantastic and imaginary^{[citation needed]} Constantinople full of Turkish, antique, Byzantine and Italian elements. Carpaccio refers with pride, in a letter to the Marquis of Mantua, to a view of Jerusalem which he had painted.[4]

La Predica di santo Stefano è un dipinto olio su tela (152x195 cm) di Vittore Carpaccio, firmato e datato 1514; si tratta di uno dei cinque teleri (di cui uno perduto) eseguiti per la Scuola di Santo Stefano di Venezia. Confiscato dal demanio napoleonico al momento della soppressione della scuola era stato assegnato alla pinacoteca di Brera. A questa Denon nel 1812 impose lo scambio forzoso, assieme ad altri cosiddetti "primitivi", con opere francesi e da allora è conservato nel Museo del Louvre di Parigi.
