Description
19th-century French school, from the circle of Horace Vernet (1789–1863)
The Massacre of the Innocents
Oil on canvas.
H_32 cm W_40 cm
Formerly attributed to Horace Vernet on the reverse.
Our painting features a composition likely linked to Nicolas Poussin’s
‘The Massacre of the Innocents’. This subject was brought to the fore by Léon Cogniet,
with his painting for the 1824 Salon, which presents a highly
Romantic, almost intimate vision of this bloody scene. Our artist
probably painted this work following that Salon.
