The Story of Lot: Lot Prevents the Sodomites from Violence

Heinrich Aldegrever

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white illustration of a scene with several men. The men are dressed in 16th-century clothing, including short tunics, cloaks, and boots. One man with curly hair and a tunic is being held back by another man with a beard and a head covering. A third man with a sword stands on the left side, his body partially bare. In the background, there is a stone building with an arched doorway and a tower. The scene appears to be a biblical illustration, specifically depicting Lot preventing violence against Sodomites. The illustration is detailed with texture and shading. The overall mood appears intense and dramatic.
