Today is the Feast of the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, so I thought I would put up a picture. It is Pieter Brueghal's image of that subject. Although it is a biblical subject, it is often taken to be a commentary on contemporary atrocities in the Low Countries by the Hapsburg regime.
I am often surprised that people seem to think that comments by analogy are somehow a modern invention.
