"Massacre of the Innocents" by Daniele da Volterra is a notable 16th-century fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter, born Daniele Ricciarelli in Volterra, Tuscany. The artwork is a dramatic representation of the biblical episode known as the Massacre of the Innocents, in which King Herod the Great ordered the execution of all young male children in the vicinity of Bethlehem, in an attempt to prevent the prophesied rise of Jesus Christ, whom he perceived as a threat to his throne.

Daniele da Volterra, a close associate and follower of Michelangelo, is renowned for his robust figures and dynamic compositions, which are vividly demonstrated in this fresco. The work is characterized by its powerful emotional content, the tumultuous arrangement of figures, and the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect of the scene. The fresco showcases the artist's ability to convey movement and chaos, as well as his skill in rendering the human form with a sculptural solidity reminiscent of his mentor's influence.

The "Massacre of the Innocents" is considered one of Daniele da Volterra's masterpieces and is a significant example of Mannerist art, which emerged as a reaction against the harmonious and idealized forms of the High Renaissance. The painting's exact location and date of creation, however, are not well-documented, which has led to some debate among art historians regarding its provenance and the context within which it was produced.

Despite the lack of extensive records, the "Massacre of the Innocents" by Daniele da Volterra remains an important work for its artistic merit and its representation of a poignant historical and religious narrative. The fresco is a testament to the artist's skill and his contribution to the Mannerist movement, which played a pivotal role in the transition from Renaissance to Baroque art.
