Lot en zijn dochters after 1629

This etching, titled "Lot en zijn dochters," depicts the biblical story of Lot and his daughters, which is an example of an engraving in the Baroque style. It was created by an anonymous artist after 1629 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The scene is dominated by the central figure of Lot, with his two daughters on either side. The inscription at the bottom, "Qund flammas fugiofe iuuat; si senior ignis. Incesta accendit pectora casta face" (The flames that flee, kindle and ignite; the older fire ignites the chaste heart with incest), alludes to the incestuous nature of the scene. The work is attributed to the artist Mellan Gallus.
