The biblical tale of survival and transgression comes to a provocatively vivid climax in this late masterpiece: Lot and His Daughters. Available as a Museum-Quality Art Print, Gallery-Wrapped Canvas, or Elegant Framed Canvas.

Product Overview

The burning city has been left behind, the righteous have been spared, and the story descends into a cave governed by desperate calculation. Lot and His Daughters captures the unsettling aftermath of Sodom’s destruction. Fearing they are the last humans on earth, Lot's daughters have conspired to intoxicate their father to preserve their lineage. This reproduction is a masterclass in tension and flesh, offering a stark, sensual look at a controversial biblical narrative. It is a powerful choice for collectors who value art that serves as a profound meditation on morality, desperation, and the boundaries of human nature.

Historical Significance & The Artist

Artist: Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617)

Original Created: 1616

Original Location: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Movement: Dutch Golden Age / Northern Mannerism

In this late-career masterpiece, Goltzius strips away the purely pious interpretations of his predecessors to present an unflinchingly erotic and morally complex scene. Known primarily as a virtuoso printmaker, Goltzius turned to painting late in life, bringing his absolute mastery of anatomy and composition to the canvas. By rendering this biblical taboo with the lush sensuality of a mythological bacchanal, Goltzius forces the viewer to confront the ambiguity of the act. This work solidified his reputation as an artist who could seamlessly blend scandalous narrative with breathtaking technical realism.

The Narrative: A Calculated Seduction

The scene is set in a rocky enclave far from the smoldering ruins of their former home. Every detail in the composition points to a deliberate collapse of patriarchal authority and moral boundaries.

  • The Intoxicated Patriarch: Lot, rendered with the ruddy complexion of an aging Bacchus, sits in a bewildered, drunken stupor. He holds a shallow tazza of wine, entirely oblivious to the gravity of his daughters' scheme.
  • The Tempting Daughters: Displaying Goltzius's mastery of the human form, the daughters are presented naked and alluring, their pale flesh contrasting sharply with their father's weathered skin. One pours the wine, acting as the architect of the evening's transgression.
  • The Cunning Fox: Lurking between the rocks in the background, a fox serves as a traditional symbol of cleverness and deceit, explicitly underscoring the manipulative nature of the daughters' plan.
  • The Discarded Feast: In the foreground, a still life of bread, cheese, and a waiting dog grounds the scene in reality, while also offering a subtle nod to the Eucharist and themes of earthly temptation versus divine salvation.
  • The Burning of Sodom: Through the background landscape, we see the fiery destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, with the tiny, petrified figure of Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt. It reminds the viewer of the divine wrath they just escaped, contrasting with the new sins being committed in the cave.
