The Massacre of the Innocents
Artist: Gerolamo Mocetto (Italian, About 1458 - 1531)
Original Dimensions: 26 3/4" x 17 1/2"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1500-25) "The scene shows the violent biblical episode in which King Herod orders a massacre of all children under the age of two in an attempt to kill the newborn Christ, believing him to be a threat to his rule. This panel was once joined with the other painting by Mocetto in our collection, forming the left-hand part of the composition. A number of the poses here are copied directly from engravings by the painter and printmaker Mantegna, who, like Mocetto, was working in the Veneto. The kneeling soldier who is about to plunge his dagger into an infant comes from Mocetto’s engraving The killing of the Sow (British Museum, London). The figure in this engraving is naked and about to ritually sacrifice a pig, which he holds steady by the ear." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
