James Tissot's "The Massacre of the Innocents" is a painting that depicts the biblical event described in the Gospel of Matthew, where King Herod orders the execution of all male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to eliminate the newborn Jesus. Tissot, a French painter known for his detailed and dramatic works, captures the emotional intensity and horror of the scene through his use of color, composition, and expression.

The painting is part of Tissot's larger series of works illustrating the life of Christ, which he began after a transformative visit to the Holy Land in the late 19th century. This series reflects Tissot's deep interest in biblical themes and his commitment to historical accuracy, as he meticulously researched the clothing, architecture, and customs of the period.

In "The Massacre of the Innocents," Tissot employs a vivid palette and dynamic composition to convey the chaos and despair of the event. The foreground is filled with anguished mothers and terrified children, their expressions capturing the raw emotion of the moment. Tissot's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the figures' garments and the architectural elements that frame the scene.

The painting is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which adds to the sense of urgency and tragedy. Tissot's ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his art has made this work a poignant representation of the biblical story.

"The Massacre of the Innocents" is housed in the Brooklyn Museum as part of the collection of Tissot's biblical illustrations. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into Tissot's unique approach to religious art and his ability to bring biblical stories to life with empathy and realism.
