EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Burning Sodom formerly Destruction 1843-1857" by Camille Corot depicts a powerful scene from the Old Testament. The French artist, known for his landscape paintings, masterfully captures the moment when an angel in the sky hurls fire and brimstone down upon the city of Sodom to destroy its wickedness. The painting measures 36 3/8 x 71 3/8 inches (92.4 x 181.3 cm) and is filled with intense colors that evoke a sense of impending doom. The darkened sky contrasts with the fiery reds and oranges raining down on the doomed city below. In this dramatic composition, we see another angel leading Lot and his two daughters to safety as they flee from the destruction behind them. Their figures are small compared to the vastness of the burning city, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst chaos. Corot's attention to detail brings this biblical tale to life, allowing viewers to contemplate themes of divine justice and human frailty. Through his brushstrokes, he conveys both beauty and terror in equal measure. This print from Liszt Collection offers a glimpse into Corot's artistic genius as well as an opportunity for reflection on moral lessons found within ancient texts. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of destruction, there can be hope for salvation.
