Lot and His Family Leaving Sodom is a 1620 by Lucas Emil Vorsterman, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a group of people are shown leaving a city. They are dressed in robes and are carrying baskets and other items. The group is led by a woman who is looking back at the city. The scene is depicted in a dramatic style, with strong contrasts between light and dark. The figures are shown in a sense of urgency, as if they are fleeing from something. The painting is an example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting. To learn more about this style, look up the Baroque movement.
