EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from The Nuremberg Chronicle, created in 1493, depicts the tragic moment when Lot's wife gazes back at the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. According to Genesis 19:26, as she turns her head towards the destruction behind her, she is transformed into a pillar of salt. The artist skillfully captures this dramatic scene with intricate details and delicate lines. Lot's wife stands tall amidst the rubble of the fallen city, her face etched with fear and disbelief. The chaos around her symbolizes the destruction that befell these sinful cities. In this medieval artwork, we witness not only a biblical event but also a powerful moral lesson about obedience and consequences. Lot's wife succumbs to temptation by looking back against God's commandment to flee without turning back. Her fate serves as a reminder for us all to trust in divine guidance and resist our own desires. This woodcut print showcases both artistic mastery and religious storytelling, reflecting the Renaissance period during which it was created. It transports us back in time while reminding us of timeless themes found within Christianity and Judaism. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical masterpiece by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection as an opportunity for reflection on faith, human frailty, and divine justice - a testament to how art can transcend centuries while still resonating deeply within our souls today.
