Frans Hogenberg's "Moord te Junkersdorf, 1586" (c. 1587-1591) is a detailed engraving depicting the aftermath of a massacre that occurred in Junkersdorf, Germany, during the Eighty Years' War. The image is a powerful reminder of the brutality of war, with its depiction of fallen soldiers and civilians, as well as the chaos and confusion of the aftermath. The work is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the social and political climate of the late 16th century. The Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam, houses this important artwork.
