EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lot and his Daughters Escape Out of Sodom" transports us back to biblical times. Created by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in the late 19th century, this artwork is a part of the collection "The Bible in Pictures or Scripture History illustrated in a series of one hundred and eighty engravings". In this scene, we witness Lot and his daughters fleeing from the doomed city of Sodom. The artist skillfully captures their desperation as they make their escape amidst raging flames and billowing smoke. The intensity of the fire is heightened by the presence of braziers and a campfire nearby. This illustration reminds us of an iconic moment from the Book of Genesis, where Lot's family narrowly escapes God's wrath upon Sodom and Gomorrah. It also alludes to another significant event when Lot's wife disobeys divine orders not to look back at the destruction unfolding behind them, resulting in her transformation into a pillar of salt. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's attention to detail shines through even in this black-and-white medium. His intricate lines bring life to each character while capturing both their fear and determination. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded not only of religious significance but also themes such as family bonds, survival instincts, and human resilience. This engraving serves as a timeless reminder that even in moments of chaos and despair, hope can guide us towards salvation.
