Illuminated Manuscript Scene: Destruction of Sodom and Lot’s Escape #3594282 (License: Personal Use)

This double-page spread from a medieval French Bible moralisée (c. 1250-1260) illustrates two key moments: on the left, fire and brimstone rain down on Sodom as buildings collapse and figures flee; on the right, Lot, crowned and robed, departs with his daughters while angels guide them, set against a golden-hued landscape. The scenes are framed with intricate borders, gold leaf backgrounds, and Gothic script captions in Old French, reflecting both theological instruction and artistic sophistication of the High Gothic period.

Used in academic, museum, or digital library contexts to illustrate medieval biblical interpretation, manuscript illumination techniques, or religious iconography; targets researchers, students, and art historians seeking primary visual sources on biblical narratives in medieval Europe.
