Created in the 18th century, this artwork is an interpretation of the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, found in the Book of Genesis. The narrative depicts the moment when two angels, sent by God to the city of Sodom, blind the men who are threatening Lot and his family, thus preventing them from finding Lot's door.
