Description : Lot e le figlie

Oil on canvas. 17th-century Italian school. The Old Testament episode of Lot and his daughters has been widely depicted in paintings, albeit at different points in the story. In this case, the man and the two girls are depicted fleeing from Sodom, a city destroyed by God to punish the depravity of its inhabitants; for his righteousness, Lot is warned by an angel to flee with his family. The three figures are depicted in the foreground, half-length, with the father looking forward, urging his daughters to do the same, lest they incur the divine punishment that had already befallen his wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt for disobeying God's command not to look back. The canvas, previously relined, currently has several paint losses, requiring restoration. It is presented in an early 20th-century wooden frame.
