EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from The Nuremberg Chronicle, created in 1493, depicts the tragic moment when Lot's wife gazes back at the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. As described in Genesis 19:26, her disobedience to God's command results in a miraculous transformation into a pillar of salt. The artist, Hartmann Schedel, skillfully captures the intensity and despair on Lot's wife's face as she turns her head towards the crumbling city behind her. The intricate details of this medieval artwork transport us to biblical times, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Lot's wife serves as a cautionary figure in Christianity and Judaism alike - a reminder that one should not look back or cling to past sins or worldly desires. This powerful image symbolizes destruction and escape simultaneously; while Lot and his daughters flee from the wrathful angels sent by God to destroy these sinful cities, his wife succumbs to temptation. The woodcut showcases Schedel's mastery of his craft during the Renaissance period. The delicate lines etched onto wood create depth and texture within each element - from the rubble-strewn streets below to Lot’s family fleeing ahead. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as an invitation for introspection - urging us to reflect on our own lives and choices. It reminds us that sometimes letting go is necessary for growth and salvation – just like how Lots' wife became forever frozen in time as a pillar of salt
