This anonymous engraving, "Lot verlaat Sodom," depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis. It portrays the moment when Lot and his family flee the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which are being destroyed by fire and brimstone. The angels are guiding Lot away from the burning cities, as he looks back in horror. The engraving dates from 1550 to 1570 and is currently located in the Rijksmuseum. The use of fine lines and cross-hatching create a sense of drama and urgency in the artwork.
