.-The National Gallery of Art has acquired The Stoning of Saint Stephen (c. 1602) by Aurelio Lomi (15561622), the leading painter in Pisa during the last quarter of the 16th century. It joins two other works by Lomi in the Gallerys collection: a figure study in chalk, Studies of a Youth Pulling Ropes (recto); Faint Study of a Youth Pulling a Rope (verso) (1610s), and a small monochrome bozzetto of the Visitation, a preparatory work for a Florence altarpiece from around 1590.
