"The Rape of the Sabine Women" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Jan Harmensz Muller, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. This work is based on the historical episode from Roman mythology in which the men of Rome, lacking women, resorted to abducting women from the neighboring Sabine families during a festival. The event has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing the themes of conflict and reconciliation between the sexes and communities.

Jan Muller, born in Amsterdam in 1571, was a prominent printmaker and engraver of his time, known for his intricate and dynamic compositions. He was the son of the engraver and publisher Harmen Jansz Muller and was influenced by the works of the Northern Mannerist artists, particularly those of Bartholomeus Spranger, whose works he often reproduced.

Muller's rendition of "The Rape of the Sabine Women" is characterized by its dramatic intensity and complex arrangement of figures, showcasing his skill in capturing movement and emotion. The engraving is a testament to Muller's mastery of the burin, with its fine lines and detailed expressions contributing to the overall impact of the scene. The artwork reflects the Mannerist style's penchant for exaggerated poses and figures, which heighten the sense of chaos and urgency within the narrative.

As an important work in the oeuvre of Jan Muller, "The Rape of the Sabine Women" not only exemplifies his technical prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic interests of the Dutch Golden Age. The engraving remains a significant historical artifact, studied for its artistic merit and its depiction of a mythological event that has been interpreted in various ways throughout the centuries.

The work is held in several notable collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of both art history and the study of classical mythology in art. It continues to be a point of reference for discussions on the representation of gender and violence in visual culture.
