EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving from the 15th century depicts the dramatic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by an earthquake, as described in the Hebrew Bible. The scene shows Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt as she looks back at the devastation behind her.
The artist skillfully captures the chaos and terror of this biblical event, with flames engulfing buildings and debris flying through the air. The use of wood material adds a rustic texture to the image, enhancing its historical significance.
Interestingly, there is evidence to suggest that an extensive earthquake did occur in the area around this time, leading some scholars to believe that the legend of fire and brimstone may have originated from natural phenomena such as petroleum gases escaping from underground.
The pillar of salt known as "Lot's wife" still stands near the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel, serving as a haunting reminder of this ancient tale. This engraving serves as a powerful visual representation of one of the most well-known stories from religious history, capturing both its destructive force and moral lessons for viewers to contemplate.
