About this work
Sébastien Bourdon's Massacre of the Innocents, dated 1640 and held by the Hermitage Museum, shows soldiers seizing and killing infants while frantic mothers reach out or cling to their children. A seated figure in grey robes points toward the violence beside a palm tree, a pyramid, and classical columns, with a smoky city burning on the right.
