"Unveiling the Dark Depths of Infanticide: A Historical Journey through Art and Engravings" Delving into the haunting world of infanticide, we encounter William Hogarth's powerful depiction in "Gin Lane. " This iconic artwork from the 18th century exposes the devastating consequences of alcoholism on society, including neglectful mothers driven to abandon or harm their infants. Moving further back in time, we stumble upon Saturn Devouring His Son, a chilling mixed media mural by an unknown artist dating between 1819-1823. Inspired by Greek mythology, this piece portrays the horrifying act of filicide as Saturn consumes his own child. Venturing beyond Europe's borders, we confront a Romanian popular engraving depicting an alleged human sacrifice committed by Jews during the Tisza-Elzlar affair in Hungary. This controversial portrayal sheds light on historical tensions and prejudices that have fueled tragic events throughout history. The biblical narrative unfolds before us with "The Sacrifice of Isaac, " a captivating painting from 1560. Here, Abraham's willingness to offer his son as a sacrifice tests both faith and morality while highlighting themes of obedience and divine intervention. Intriguingly, Medee's furious oil-on-canvas representation captivates our attention next. Painted in 1862, it explores infanticide driven by revenge as Medee contemplates murdering her children after being betrayed by her husband Jason—a tale rooted in ancient Greek tragedy. Shifting gears to more recent times brings us face-to-face with a heart-wrenching scene captured in an engraving from France's "The Little Journal Illustrates" collection (1927). In desperate circumstances due to financial constraints, a mother contemplates ending her sick daughter's life rather than burdening herself with insurmountable hospital fees—an agonizing choice born out of desperation. Traversing back centuries ago to Rome under Appius Claudius' rule, we encounter the tragic tale of Virginia.
