Lot and His Daughters 1625

Claude Vignon's "Lot and His Daughters" (1625) depicts the biblical story of Lot's daughters getting him drunk and sleeping with him to conceive children. The painting showcases Vignon's mastery of Baroque style, with dramatic use of light and shadow, and a focus on the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures are realistically portrayed, with particular attention to the expressions on their faces, creating a sense of unease and moral ambiguity. Vignon's work, though less renowned than contemporaries like Caravaggio, offers a compelling and emotionally charged depiction of this controversial biblical story.
