EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lot and his daughters fleeing" transports us back to biblical times, illustrating a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this colour engraving beautifully captures the dramatic escape of Lot and his daughters from the doomed city of Sodom. As we gaze upon this image, we witness the chaos and destruction unfolding around them. The walls of Sodom burn fiercely in the background, symbolizing divine punishment for its sinful inhabitants. Lot's wife can be seen turning her head towards the crumbling city against divine commandment, transforming into a pillar of salt as a consequence. In this scene, we are reminded of both faith and family bonds. Lot guides his daughters away from danger while carrying their elderly mother on his back – a testament to paternal love and responsibility. Their expressions reveal fear mingled with determination as they flee towards an uncertain future. This illustration not only serves as an educational tool but also invites contemplation about themes such as religion, punishment, and redemption found within ancient texts like Genesis. It is through visual representations like these that stories from religious scriptures come alive for generations to come. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris today, this engraving continues to inspire awe with its powerful depiction of flight amidst destruction – reminding us that even in moments of despair, hope can guide our path forward.
