The recent rediscovery of Rubens’s Massacre of the Innocents (bought by Lord Thomson for £50 million in 2002) offers an important opportunity to reassess the painter’s early career. Of Rubens’s works immediately following his return to Antwerp in 1608, it is the most assured, achieving a remarkable complexity both compositionally and emotionally.
