"The Massacre of the Innocents" is an artwork by the French artist, printmaker, and illustrator Gustave Doré, created in the 19th century. Doré was renowned for his detailed and imaginative engravings that often depicted scenes from literature, the Bible, and history with a dramatic and emotional intensity. This particular piece illustrates the biblical event described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:16–18), in which King Herod the Great, fearing the loss of his throne to the prophesied new "King of the Jews," orders the execution of all male infants in Bethlehem.

Doré's interpretation of "The Massacre of the Innocents" captures the horror and tragedy of the event. His use of light and shadow, along with the intricate detailing of the figures, conveys the chaos and despair of the mothers and children during the slaughter. The work is part of Doré's larger body of biblical illustrations, which were widely disseminated and acclaimed for their grandeur and emotional power.

As an artist, Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific creator, whose works included major illustrated editions of Dante's "Divine Comedy," Cervantes' "Don Quixote," and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," among others. His illustrations for the Bible, in particular, gained him international fame, making the stories accessible and engaging to a wide audience through the visual medium. "The Massacre of the Innocents" stands as a testament to Doré's skill in conveying narrative and emotion, and it remains an important work within the canon of 19th-century religious art.
