How Tamerlin caused MMM children to be killed c. 15th century

Curator: This image, titled "How Tamerlin caused MMM children to be killed," is by an anonymous artist. It resides in the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: My first impression? The scene is stark, with those tiny bodies beneath the horses. A brutal contrast to the neat, ordered text above. Curator: Indeed. Consider the enduring symbolism of the horse, traditionally linked with power and conquest, here trampling innocence. It's a chilling visual rhetoric. Editor: It's the emotional weight of that act, frozen in time. Makes you wonder about the psychological impact on those who first saw it, the stories it was meant to tell. Curator: It's a grim reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty, isn't it? And the persistent need to confront such images, to unpack their layers of meaning. Editor: Absolutely. It's a stark memento, urging us to remember.
