Lot and his daughters by Giovanni Battista Lama

Image: Lot and his daughters, oil painting by Italian painter of the Baroque period Giovanni Battista Lama (1673-1748).

The painting shows the seduction of Lot by his daughters after making him drunk, as described in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. This theme has attracted many painters and artists, as Lot’s story is one of the weirdest.
