An Angel Leading Lot and his Daughters out of Sodom is a 1620 oil by Alessandro Turchi, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
In this painting, a group of people are shown in a dramatic scene. On the left, an angel is depicted with wings and a red robe, pointing to the right. To the right of the angel, a man is shown carrying a large bundle, with two women behind him, each carrying a similar bundle. The background of the painting features a dark and ominous sky. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast in the painting, with the angel and the man standing out against the darker background. The bundles carried by the man and the women are also highlighted, drawing attention to their importance in the scene. This painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Ireland.
Alessandro Turchi (1578 – 22 January 1649) was an Italian painter of the early Baroque, born and active mainly in Verona, and moving late in life to Rome.
