High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Massacre of the Innocents is the title of either of two paintings by Peter Paul Rubens depicting an episode of the biblical Massacre of the Innocents as related in the Gospel of Matthew. The first version painted by Rubens dates from around 1611–12. In the eighteenth century, the painting was part of the Liechtenstein Collection in Vienna, Austria, along with another Rubens' masterpiece, Samson and Delilah. After having been miscatalogued by Vincenzio Fanti in 1767, it was attributed to one of Rubens' assistants, Jan van den Hoecke, after Rubens. It is widely regarded as a demonstration of the artist's learnings from his time spent in Italy between 1600 and 1608, where he observed first-hand the works of Italian Baroque painters like Caravaggio. The work was sold at auction at Sotheby's, London on July 10, 2002 for 49.5 million (CAD $117 Million) to Canadian businessman Kenneth Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet.
