About the piece
In this 1601 masterwork, Pieter Brueghel the Younger transposes the biblical narrative of the Massacre of the Innocents into a contemporary Flemish village blanketed in snow. The composition is a masterful example of the Brueghelian tradition, utilizing a sprawling bird's-eye perspective to weave complex human drama into a meticulous and atmospheric winter landscape.
