Christoffel van Sichem I's 1574 etching titled "Mannen, vrouwen en kinderen gekruisigd of doodgestoken" depicts a harrowing scene of men, women, and children being crucified or stabbed. This detailed print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful testament to the brutality of the era. The artist's meticulous use of line creates a sense of urgency and chaos, drawing the viewer into the heart of the tragedy. The artwork's subject matter speaks to the horrific realities of war and persecution that plagued 16th-century Europe. It is a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict.
