EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the dramatic biblical scene of the "Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah". The engraving, taken from Cassells Illustrated Family Bible, depicts the moment when brimstone and fire rain down upon these sinful cities. Amidst the chaos, we witness Lot and his family being spared by divine intervention. However, tragedy befalls Lot's wife as she disobeys God's command not to look back at their doomed home; she is transformed into a pillar of salt. The image captures both the terror and awe-inspiring power of this ancient tale from Genesis. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction but also highlights themes such as faith, obedience, and consequences. The black-and-white aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this 19th-century artwork. Through its intricate engravings, this print invites viewers to delve into religious narratives that have shaped Western civilization for centuries. It speaks to diverse audiences across different faiths or those with an appreciation for literary arts and historical contexts. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable work from Fine Art Finder without commercial intentions in mind. Instead, it aims to provoke contemplation on profound topics like human nature, spirituality, and moral choices through visual storytelling.
