EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Durer's masterpiece, "Lot and His Daughters [reverse], c. 1496/1499". As one of the most prominent figures in Northern Renaissance art, Durer skillfully captures a dramatic scene from the Book of Genesis. The painting depicts an elderly man, Lot, and his daughters fleeing the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Durer's attention to detail is evident in this oil on panel artwork. The vibrant colors bring life to the chaotic moment as fire engulfs the sinful cities behind them. With their belongings hastily packed, we witness the desperation etched on their faces as they escape divine retribution. The composition highlights both male and female characters: Lot stands tall with a sense of responsibility while his daughters cling tightly to him for protection. This portrayal reflects societal roles prevalent during that era. The pillar of salt looming in the background serves as a haunting reminder of Lot's wife who disobeyed God's command not to look back at the destruction unfolding before her eyes. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this old master painting exemplifies Durer's mastery over technique and storytelling. It transports viewers back to fifteenth-century Germany where religion played a significant role in people's lives. Through this remarkable piece, Durer explores themes such as family bonds, divine justice, and human vulnerability amidst chaos—a testament to his enduring legacy within art history.
