Massacre of the Innocents (With the Fir Tree)

Marcantonio Raimondi

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a chaotic scene. Several nude and semi-nude men are interspersed among clothed women. The men are holding swords raised in the air. The women are reacting with fear and panic. Several nude and clothed infants are on the ground. The background contains a bridge over water and a cityscape with buildings and a tall tower on the left. A large stone tower and a tree are on the right side. The sky has several thick clouds. The ground appears to be made of square tiles.
