EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving depicts the biblical story of Lot and his Daughters, a tale of betrayal and destruction. The intricate details in this 19th-century print by Guido Reni capture the tension and drama of the scene. Lot, a righteous man living in Sodom, is visited by two angels who warn him to flee the city before it is destroyed. As they escape, Lot's wife disobeys their command not to look back at the burning city and turns into a pillar of salt. Left with only his daughters, Lot seeks refuge in a cave where his daughters conspire to get him drunk and sleep with him in order to preserve their family line. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish and shame on Lot's face as he realizes what has transpired. The dark shadows and stark contrasts in black and white add depth to the emotional turmoil depicted in this engraving. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and betrayal, as well as the complexities of human relationships. It is a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its haunting beauty and thought-provoking narrative.
