Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert's 1551 engraving "Kindermoord te Betlehem" depicts the biblical story of the Massacre of the Innocents. The artist utilizes a dynamic composition, capturing the chaotic scene with graphic detail. The scene takes place in front of a massive stone building with soldiers violently attacking infants. The image is a powerful indictment of violence and a testament to Coornhert's skill as a printmaker. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
