Saint Anthony and Saint Stephen Icons

The Icons of Saint Anthony and Saint Stephen were created by Florentine painter and sculptor Bicci di Lorenzo, son of Florentine painter Neri di Bicci, between 1400-1450 in the city of Florence. It is tempura and gilded on a poplar panel, a medium he used during that time period for many of his religious paintings including the painting of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Miniato. The rocks on the head of Saint Stephen signifies his martyrdom for being stoned to death by a Jewish assembly; he criticized Jewish teachings.

It is displayed at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, California.
