Beautiful Believing Blinded Lodge Lust Report Sends Sodom Testament Wickedness
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment when Lot, a righteous man living in the ancient city of Sodom, welcomes two angels into his home. According to the biblical account in Genesis 19, God had sent the angels to report on the wickedness of Sodom and its surrounding cities. Unbeknownst to Lot and his family, the Sodomites had a sinister plan. Believing the angels to be beautiful men, they demanded that Lot surrender them so they could 'know' them carnally. The scene depicted in this print is filled with tension and foreboding. Lot, dressed in a flowing robe and turban, stands protectively in front of his guests, his expression a mixture of concern and determination. The angels, clad in white robes and bearing the radiance of divine beings, look calm and resolute. The Sodomites, portrayed as rough and leering figures, crowd around Lot's door, their lecherous gazes fixed on the angels. The historical significance of this event is profound. It serves as a stark reminder of the destructive consequences of wickedness and moral decay. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a cautionary tale that has been retold throughout history, serving as a warning against the dangers of sin and immorality. This print, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of religious history and the enduring power of biblical stories to captivate and inspire us. The beautiful composition, with its intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow, invites us to reflect on the complexities of human nature and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
