Fotoreproductie van een schilderij van de Bartholomeüsnacht door Paul Delaroche before 1858

This photo reproduction by Robert Jefferson Bingham depicts a painting by Paul Delaroche. The photo is likely from a book printed before 1858, and shows a scene from the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, a brutal event that took place in Paris in 1572, killing thousands of Huguenots. The photo captures the somber and dramatic tone of Delaroche's original painting, showcasing the aftermath of the massacre with fallen bodies and a bleak cityscape. The scene is reminiscent of historical events and emphasizes the tragedy of the massacre.
