Slaughter of the Innocents
This piece was inspired by Leon Cogniet's painting of the same name. Herod's killing of the innocent children in Bethlehem is a vivid reminder that not all the events surrounding Jesus' early life were pleasant ones. It also presages the end of Christ's life when he, The Innocent One, was murdered by the Roman authorities.
