Lot en zijn dochters 1575

This engraving by Balthazar van den Bos, created in 1575, depicts the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. It's an intricate scene showing Lot, a patriarch of the Old Testament, with two of his daughters, who, according to the story, were inebriated by their father and slept with him to continue their lineage. The dramatic scene, with its detailed rendering of the figures and the background landscape, was a popular subject in art during the Renaissance. This particular work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
