About this work

Overview

This print, titled 'Lot and his Daughters,' is a work on paper created by Raphael Morghen in 1850. It is based on a composition by the Italian painter Guercino.

Subject & Meaning

The print illustrates a biblical scene, depicting Lot and his daughters in a dimly lit interior. The figures are shown in a moment of quiet intimacy, with Lot kneeling and drinking from a cup, while his daughters stand nearby, calm and serene.

Technique & Style

Morghen's print is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, with the figures emerging from a dark background and a distant town visible through a window. The rendering of textures and folds in the figures' robes adds depth and nuance to the scene.

History & Provenance

The print is part of a tradition of reproductive engraving, where Morghen interprets and translates Guercino's original composition into a new medium.
