Lot and His Daughters
by GASSEL, Lucas, Oil on panel, 38 x 55 cm
The painting shows Lot and his daughters in a panoramic landscape with the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah in flames.
Lucas Gassel is considered as a landscape painter following in the tradition of Joachim Patenier. His landscapes are always accompanied by scenes from the Old and New Testament. This portrayal of Lot and his daughters in a chaotic landscape is a good illustration of Gassel’s artistic intentions.
