Lot en zijn dochters. 1632

"Lot en zijn dochters," a 1632 etching by Gerard ter Borch, portrays the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. The scene, rendered with fine detail, depicts the daughters escaping from the destruction of Sodom. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the drama and turmoil of this biblical event. Ter Borch, known for his mastery of light and shadow, masterfully illustrates the emotional intensity of the fleeing figures. The use of line and shading, characteristic of etching, create a powerful visual narrative that continues to engage viewers.
