"La Strage degli Innocenti," also known as "The Massacre of the Innocents," is a significant work by the Italian painter Ippolito Scarsella, commonly known as Scarsellino. Born in Ferrara around 1550, Scarsellino was a prominent figure in the late Renaissance period, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, which were influenced by the Mannerist style. This particular painting depicts the biblical episode of Herod the Great's order to kill all male infants in Bethlehem, as described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:16-18). This event is traditionally known as the Massacre of the Innocents.

Scarsellino's interpretation of this tragic scene is a powerful example of his artistic prowess and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the chaos and despair of the moment. The figures are depicted with a sense of movement and urgency, capturing the viewer's attention and eliciting an emotional response. Scarsellino's work on this subject is notable for its combination of both horror and beauty, a juxtaposition that is typical of the Mannerist style's complex approach to narrative and composition.

While the exact date of creation for "La Strage degli Innocenti" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted in the late 16th or early 17th century, during Scarsellino's mature period. The painting's current location and ownership are not specified in this introduction, as this information may vary over time and would require regular updates to maintain accuracy.

As a work of historical and artistic significance, "La Strage degli Innocenti" by Scarsellino continues to be studied and admired for its emotional depth and technical mastery. It remains an important example of Mannerist art and provides insight into the cultural and religious themes that were prevalent during the time of its creation.
