The Massacre of Amboise is a significant historical engraving created by Jacques Tortorel and Jean Jacques Perrissin, active between 1568 and 1592. This artwork captures a pivotal and gruesome event in French history, known as the Amboise Conspiracy or Tumult of Amboise, which took place in March 1560. The engraving serves as a visual documentation of the massacre that followed the failed Huguenot plot to abduct the young King Francis II of France and his mother, Catherine de' Medici, in an attempt to gain political leverage and secure religious freedoms for Protestants in a predominantly Catholic France.

The detailed and intricate engraving by Tortorel and Perrissin is part of a larger series of works that depict the French Wars of Religion, a period marked by severe conflict between Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants). The artists are known for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to convey the chaotic and violent nature of the events they depicted. In The Massacre of Amboise, they illustrate the brutal aftermath of the conspiracy, where captured Huguenots were executed en masse, their bodies displayed publicly as a warning to others.

The engraving not only serves as a historical record but also as a piece of propaganda, reflecting the intense religious and political tensions of the time. It provides contemporary viewers with a stark visual representation of the consequences of religious dissent and the lengths to which the ruling powers would go to maintain control. The work is notable for its historical accuracy, achieved through the artists' use of eyewitness accounts and other contemporary sources, making it a valuable resource for historians studying the period.

The Massacre of Amboise by Tortorel and Perrissin remains an important artifact that offers insight into the turbulent era of the French Wars of Religion. It stands as a testament to the power of visual art in documenting and influencing historical narratives.
