What you need to know about the massacre of innocents
Epstein commissioned a copy of “The Massacre of the Innocents,” an original painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Cornelis van Haarlem. This 1591 painting shows a terrifying moment in the Nativity narrative in the Gospel of Matthew.
On their way to visit the baby Jesus, the Magi told King Herod that they were looking for the newborn King of Judaea. Fearing that he would be deposed by the future king, Herod ordered the Roman soldiers to kill all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem. The painting was popular among the old masters, and the horrific scene also appears in works by Peter Paul Rubens and others.

Why painting requests are controversial
As rumors swirled around Epstein, the term “baby-killing” gained traction. There were accusations of cannibalism and “ritual sacrifice”. terms like ‘cream cheese‘ and ‘pizza” only causes conspiracy theorists to double down on these claims.
However, these crimes remain unproven and Epstein was never charged or tried for any such crimes. Epstein’s Zorro Ranch is also now in the spotlight as many women and girls say they were sexually abused at the ranch. Now, New Mexico has approved a “truth commission” to investigate the allegations.
