Massacre of the Innocents
The 1590 version by Cornelis van Haarlem also seems to reflect the violence of the Dutch Revolt. Guido Reni's early (1611) "Massacre of the Innocents", in an unusual vertical format, is at Bologna. The Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens painted the theme more than once. One version, now in Munich, was engraved and reproduced as a painting as far away as colonial Peru. Another, his grand "Massacre of the Innocents" is now at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Ontario. The French painter Nicolas Poussin painted "The Massacre of the Innocents" (1634) at the height of the Thirty Years' War.
