Massacre of the Innocents (drawing (visual work); Amico Aspertini (painter, sculptor, and illuminator, born 14...; ca. 1510-1520; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 97.GB.49) | |
Note: The subject, also referred to as "The Slaughter of the Innocents," depicts the brutal slaying of all the sons born to Jewish women at the time of Jesus' birth. For this drawing, Amico Aspertini borrowed from the ancient Roman sculpture that he had seen in Rome five or ten years before. The intertwining figures at right parallel those on ancient Roman sarcophagi. Aspertini's art also included unidealized shapes and awkward bodies. Original and unconventional for the date, his figures look like local peasants rather than ideal types. Aspertini's draftsmanship characteristically included encrusted white highlights, squat figures, and manic energy. | |
