"Cain Killing Abel, after C. van Haarlem by Jan Muller" is a notable engraving by the Dutch printmaker Jan Harmensz Muller, created after a design by the prominent Northern Mannerist painter Cornelis van Haarlem. The work depicts the biblical scene of the first murder, where Cain kills his brother Abel, as described in the Book of Genesis. This subject has been a poignant theme in the history of art, symbolizing themes of jealousy, fratricide, and the fallibility of humankind.

Jan Muller (1571–1628), known for his intricate engravings, was a master of capturing the dynamic compositions and complex figures characteristic of Mannerist art. His rendition of "Cain Killing Abel" is particularly noted for its dramatic intensity and the elaborate depiction of the figures' musculature and expressions, which reflect the influence of his mentor, Cornelis van Haarlem (1562–1638). Van Haarlem was a leading figure in the Haarlem school of painting and was renowned for his large-scale historical paintings, which often featured robust figures in action-packed scenes.

The engraving serves as a testament to the collaborative nature of art production during the Dutch Golden Age, where printmakers and painters often worked in tandem to disseminate artworks to a broader audience. Muller's work not only showcases his own technical skill and artistic interpretation but also preserves and propagates the stylistic approach and iconography of van Haarlem's original composition.

As a historical artwork, "Cain Killing Abel" by Jan Muller, after Cornelis van Haarlem, holds significance for its artistic merit, its reflection of the cultural and religious narratives of the time, and its role in the dissemination and evolution of Mannerist aesthetics in Northern European art. The engraving is an important piece for scholars studying the period, the artists, and the broader context of biblical themes in the visual arts.
