Description:

This appears to be "The Massacre of the Innocents" by Guido Reni, painted circa 1611. This Baroque masterpiece depicts the biblical event from the Gospel of Matthew where King Herod orders the killing of all male infants in Bethlehem. The dramatic composition shows soldiers attacking mothers and their children. Women are shown in various poses of anguish and defense, attempting to protect their babies from the violence. In the upper left corner, two putti (cherubs) with sheaves of wheat watch the scene from heaven, symbolizing the martyrdom of these innocent souls. The painting employs strong contrasts of light and dark, dynamic diagonal compositions, and emotional expressiveness characteristic of Baroque art.
