Lot en zijn dochters 1530

Heinrich Aldegrever's 1530 engraving *Lot en zijn dochters* depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis. The artwork portrays Lot, a righteous man, and his two daughters, who escape the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. They are shown sitting outside the city walls, with a fortified city in the background. The engraving captures the dramatic moment of their escape, with a sense of urgency and fear. Aldegrever's detailed rendering of the figures and the cityscape showcase his mastery of the engraving technique, creating a powerful and moving image. *Lot en zijn dochters* is a fine example of Renaissance art, and its religious theme resonated with viewers in the 16th century.
