This engraving, created by Lucas van Leyden in 1530, depicts the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. It shows Lot, his daughters, and a burning city in the background, which is likely Sodom. The artist's precise, detailed style creates a sense of drama and immediacy. This work is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance's interest in both biblical themes and realistic depictions of human figures. This print is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
