"Lot and his daughters flee the burning city of Sodom (background). Now that
their mother has been turned into a pillar of salt, the daughters consider
it their duty to ensure that Lot has male descendants. Here they are seen
feeding their father so much drink that he does not realize he is being
seduced by his own daughters."

Hi Martin,
You sent this message under another thread but I've been thinking about this
image ever since. I found the artist is Lucas Van Leyden and painted in the
1500's, but I'm wondering what is going on. Looks like a town or fort is
being bombarded but the man in the foreground doesn't seem to notice. In
fact he seem to be doing well except the two women are his daughters? The
caption from wikipedia reads, Lot and his daughters, or is the title
incorrect? What is this painting about? Can't be about swiping meteorites.
:)
