Léon Cogniet (1794-1880) "Métabus et Camille" In Virgil's Aeneid, Camilla is the daughter of King Metabus and Casmilla. Driven from his throne, Metabus is chased into the wilderness by armed Volsci, his infant daughter in his hands. The river Amasenus blocked his path, and, fearing for his child's welfare, Metabus bound her to a spear. He promised Diana that Camilla would be her servant, a warrior virgin. He then safely threw her to the other side, and swam across to retrieve her. The baby Camilla was suckled by a mare, and once her "first firm steps had [been] taken, the small palms were armed with a keen javelin; her sire a bow and quiver from her shoulder slung." She was raised in her childhood to be a huntress and kept the companionship of her father and the shepherds in the hills and woods.

Léon Cogniet, Scene of the Massacre of the Innocents, 1824, oil on canvas, 261.3 x 228.3 cm, Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes, Rennes, France.

Today is Holy Innocents' Day, recalling the massacre ordered by Herod. So, I wanted to share this painting, cause it's such a unique take on the famous art history theme "The Massacre of the Innocents."

The paintings that I was used to seeing depicted the actual massacre. There are babies being murdered, and mothers screaming and begging, like the ones by Rubens (left) and Reni (right).

But this one offers another pov. Here is a mother hiding from the chaos as she covers her son's mouth so that they don't hear them. But she's looking at us terrified as if she fears that we are going to tell the soldiers about them.

It's terrifying.
