Lot und seine Familie werden von den Engeln aus Sodom geführt 

This drawing by Salomon de Bray captures a dramatic moment using brown ink and wash on paper. Notice how the composition is structured around a powerful diagonal that thrusts from the lower right to the upper left. This dynamic arrangement focuses our attention on the figures of Lot and the angel. De Bray masterfully uses light and shadow to create depth and emotional intensity. The contrast between the luminous angel and the shadowed figures behind creates a hierarchy of importance, emphasizing the divine intervention in Lot's escape. De Bray employs a semiotic language, each element serves as a signifier. The angel's outstretched hand, Lot's kneeling posture, and the architectural backdrop all contribute to a complex narrative. This drawing not only tells a biblical story but also invites us to reflect on themes of salvation and divine judgment. The formal qualities of line and shading work together to evoke a sense of urgency and moral weight.
