Virtual Art in Focus: Raimondi & Raphael, Massacre of the Innocents

Our virtual Art in Focus series continues with the engraving of the Massacre of the Innocents, a product of the collaboration between the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael and the printmaker Marcantonio Raimondi. The engraving depicts a violent dance of twisting, straining bodies. The horror of the narrative (drawn from the Gospel of Matthew) is underscored by the mother racing directly toward the viewer, her mouth open in a cry. Join us at 1 pm on Thursday, October 10 on thequicklive.com…

Join us at 1 pm on Thursday, October 10 on thequicklive.com for informal conversation about this work, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo, PhD. We’ll talk about what collaboration meant for Renaissance artists! We’ll also talk print conservation and look at the “before” pictures of this engraving!
This print is included in the exhibition Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries through December 21. For more information about the exhibition, visit our website here.
