This 1791 engraving by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts two scenes from the life of Jesus Christ: the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem and Jesus among the Doctors. The artwork showcases Fokke's detailed style, capturing the drama of the first scene and the intellectual atmosphere of the second. The inscription at the bottom indicates the biblical references, making it a clear example of religious art. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic interpretations of biblical narratives during the 18th century.
