Summary
| Description |
This painting depicts the mass killing at Nagasaki in 1622, when more than 55 Christians were executed. It became known as the Great Genna Martyrdom. The victims included Europeans, Japanese, and Koreans. Missionaries are tied to stakes in a fire pit; samurai men with swords are decapitating Christian families. The crowd included Europeans, Chinese, and Africans, as well as Japanese. The precise details suggest that it was painted by an eyewitness. The trees in back are reminiscent of those on Japanese screen paintings, and this work may originally have been mounted as a scroll or screen.
