"The Leiden History Painting"

1626
Oil on panel, 90 x 121 cm
Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden

Catalogue number: Bredius 460.

This painting is probably the pendant of the Martyrdom of St Stephen (now in Lyon). There are several suggestions regarding the subject of this painting, e.g. the Oath of the Horatii, however, none of them is convincing.
