EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Lot and His Daughters" by Antoine Pesne, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. The artwork, created in 1756, is a stunning example of Pesne's talent and artistic vision. Using black and red chalk washes, gray wash, and white gouache to add highlights, Pesne brings this biblical scene to life on a sheet measuring 33.4 x 45.1 cm (13 1/8 x 17 3/4 in. ). The delicate framing lines in black ink further enhance the composition. The painting depicts the story of Lot and his daughters as described in the Book of Genesis. It portrays Lot's daughters seducing their father after believing that they were the only survivors of Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. This controversial subject matter adds an intriguing layer to Pesne's work. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Pesne captures both the emotional intensity of this momentous event and the beauty of human form with remarkable precision. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical artwork without commercial intentions or associations with any specific company. It serves as a testament to Antoine Pesne's exceptional skill as an artist while providing viewers with an opportunity for deeper exploration into religious narratives depicted through visual art.
