Loth et ses filles is a 1617 oil by Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Galleria Borghese.
This painting depicts a man and two women in a dimly lit room. The man, seated, is surrounded by the women, one of whom holds a large, ornate object. The other woman is positioned on the right side of the composition. The scene is set against a dark background, with the figures illuminated by a single light source. The use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. This technique adds depth and volume to the figures, drawing the viewer's attention to the central scene. To explore more works that utilize chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri (1589–1655) was an Italian painter, and Caravaggisto.
