Lucas Vorsterman (Flemish; 1595–1675) after Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish; 1577–1640)The Flight of Lot and His Family from Sodom1620Engraving The British Museum, London | © The Trustees of the British MuseumThe angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city … and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. … Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19: 15–26) -- source link
