The Massacre of the Innocents by Peter Paul Rubens – A dramatic Baroque oil painting depicting a chaotic, violent scene with muscular figures in turmoil. Soldiers brutally attack women and children, while expressions of fear, agony, and desperation fill the composition. The dynamic movement and warm, rich colors amplify the intensity of the tragic moment.
