"Massacre of the Innocents" is a distinguished work of art by the eminent 16th-century Flemish painter, Marten Cleve. Revered for his talent in genre painting and landscapes, this painting showcases his mastery and his versatility as an artist. "Massacre of the Innocents" depicts the biblical episode referenced in the Gospel of Matthew in which King Herod orders the execution of all male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the newborn Jesus.

As is characteristic of Van Cleve's style, this work encompasses a broad canvas to capture a dramatic narrative. Present on the canvas are a multitude of figures which contribute to the war-torn and heartrending atmosphere of the scene. The narrative is anatomized into a series of vignettes, with individual stories of grief and maternal instinct being played out concurrently.

Both the color palette and composition play an important role in this artwork. Van Cleve uses a muted color palette to amplify the sober and grim mood cascading over Bethlehem. The overall scene is chaotic, giving the viewer an unruly perception of the horror and pandemonium that overloaded the city during this biblical event.

Marten van Cleve's "Massacre of the Innocents" remains a significant work in his repertoire. Nevertheless, it serves as a stark testament to his ability to capture raw human emotions and narratives on a grand scale, solidifying his place as an important artist in 16th-century Flemish painting. This painting, with its graphic narrative and execution, continues to be a powerful reminder of this intense biblical episode.
