The Slaughter of the Innocents
1687
St. Catherine's Chapel
Cathedral of St. Mary, Pamplona, Spain
Usually Herod is included in images of the massacre (Matthew 2:16-18), and often a multitude of figures is pictured. But here the event is refined to just two soldiers, two mothers, and two baby boys. One of the boys is naked, a common motif in images of this type.
