Jacob Binck

Jacob Binck is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jacob Binck made stark, graphic prints in the early 1500s. His “Massacre of the Innocents” shows soldiers hacking at babies while mothers wail—an early version of a bloody scene later painted by others. The work is raw and unflinching, typical of Northern European prints that used violence to grab attention. Want to see how the same scene looked in paint later? Tap “Massacre of the Innocents” by Peter Paul Rubens.
