Rubens’s Sells for £49.5 million (2002)
Misattributed to an assistant of Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens until 2002, when an expert from Sotheby’s auction house identified it as the work of the master himself, Massacre of the Innocents is an early 17th-century painting depicting Herod’s slaughter of the infants of Bethlehem. One of two paintings Rubens made of the Biblical scene, it fetched £49.5 million ($76 million) at auction and is one of the priciest paintings ever sold. Its style is reminiscent of which Italian painter? Discuss

“May we hold fast to the resounding joy of the Lord. It is our divine, prevailing strength. It keeps our hearts built up, soaring above the pit of despair, propelling us in His glory to work unto Him and reach others. All that’s required is that we remain in close relationship with Him.” ~M Mitchell
