# The Martyrdom of St Stephen [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DADDI, Bernardo]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary Daddi was one of the most important Florentine painters of the first half of the fourteenth century. It is now generally thought that he was taught by Giotto himself, and he remained closely acquainted with his workshop and following. His style was rather sweeter and less austere than Giotto's, tempering the latter's gravity with a new grace and refinement. The typically tender and expressive gestures, the subtle colour harmonies and above all the attention to detail are all characteristic of his work. ## Related artworks - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Crucifixion \(detail\)]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Four Musical Angels]() - [Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels and Saints]() - [Madonna and Child]() - [Orsanmichele Madonna and Child with Angels]() - [Polyptych of San Pancrazio: Predella panel]() - [Polyptych of San Pancrazio: Predella panel]() - [Polyptych of San Pancrazio: Predella panel]() - [Polyptych of San Pancrazio]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
