"Lot and His Daughters" is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1844. The painting depicts the biblical story of Lot and his daughters from the Book of Genesis, a theme that has been a recurrent subject in the history of art. Courbet, known for his leading role in the Realist movement, brings his characteristic approach to the canvas, focusing on the human figures and the moral complexities of the narrative rather than idealizing the scene as was common in the academic art of his time.

In the biblical account, Lot, a nephew of Abraham, is portrayed as a righteous man living in the sinful city of Sodom. After the city's destruction, Lot escapes with his two daughters to a cave in the mountains. Believing themselves to be the last survivors on earth, his daughters intoxicate Lot and seduce him in an attempt to continue their lineage. Courbet's interpretation of this moment combines a stark realism with a psychological depth, capturing the tension and ambiguity of the story.

The painting measures 195 cm × 261 cm (approximately 76.8 inches × 102.8 inches) and is notable for its large scale, which adds to the dramatic impact of the scene. Courbet's use of chiaroscuro and his attention to textural detail enhance the emotional intensity and naturalism of the work. The figures are rendered with a palpable weight and physical presence, which is a hallmark of Courbet's style.

"Lot and His Daughters" is an example of Courbet's early work and his engagement with traditional religious subjects, which he would later move away from as he developed his more overtly Realist agenda. The painting is a testament to Courbet's skill in handling complex narrative scenes and his ability to infuse them with a modern sensibility. It remains an important work within Courbet's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the evolution of Realism in 19th-century European art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or museum, and it has been exhibited and studied in the context of both Courbet's body of work and the broader trends of 19th-century painting. The work continues to be of interest to art historians, scholars, and the public for its compelling portrayal of a controversial biblical story and its significance in the development of modern art.
