EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Dürer's masterpiece, "Lot and His Daughters" painted between 1496 and 1499. The oil on panel artwork measures 52.4 x 42.2 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from the Old Testament's Book of Genesis, where Lot and his daughters are seen fleeing Sodom just before its destruction. With urgency in their eyes, they escape the doomed city carrying only essential belongings: a box filled with precious items, keys symbolizing their departure from this place of despair, a flask for sustenance during their journey, and a spindle representing their future survival. The fiery background serves as a reminder of the impending catastrophe that awaits those left behind. This powerful image captures both the physical act of escaping but also conveys deeper themes such as faith, redemption, and divine intervention. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail combined with his masterful use of light creates an atmosphere that draws viewers into this biblical narrative. As we gaze upon this Northern Renaissance masterpiece, we are reminded not only of Lot's family's plight but also reflect on our own journeys through life – seeking liberation from oppressive forces or finding solace amidst chaos. "Lot and His Daughters" stands as a testament to Dürer's artistic genius while serving as an enduring symbol of religious devotion within the context of German art history.
