description

Summary

Gezicht op een binnenplaats van een paleis waar wanhopige moeders proberen hun kinderen te beschermen tegen de soldaten van Herodes. Op de voorgrond drie vrouwen treurend bij de dode lichamen van hun kinderen.

Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.
