Lot und seine Töchter vor dem brennenden Sodom
1850
From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
Lot und seine Töchter vor dem brennenden Sodom is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Wood, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
In the foreground, three naked figures—two women and a man—sit together by a riverbank. One woman holds a basket, another leans on the man’s shoulder, and all look calm. Behind them, a city burns: smoke rises from rooftops, and flames flicker in the distance. The sky is dark, but a pale moon glows above the chaos. The women’s soft pink drapery contrasts with the rough, smoky landscape. The city’s destruction feels distant, almost ignored by the figures. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
