"L'incendio di Sodoma" (The Burning of Sodom) is a significant 19th-century painting by Italian artist Michele Rapisardi (1822–1886). The work is renowned for its dramatic representation of the biblical story of Sodom's destruction, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. Rapisardi, a painter from Sicily, was known for his historical and biblical scenes, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery in capturing the intensity and emotion of such narratives.

Completed in 1862, "L'incendio di Sodoma" showcases Rapisardi's skill in composition and his ability to convey a powerful moral message through art. The painting depicts the moment when divine retribution is meted out upon the city of Sodom, which, according to the biblical account, was destroyed by fire and brimstone due to the wickedness of its inhabitants. The artwork captures the chaos and horror of the event, with figures seen fleeing the catastrophe, their expressions conveying fear and despair.

Rapisardi's use of color and light emphasizes the fiery doom, with the flames and smoke rendered in vivid hues that contrast with the darkened sky and the despairing figures. The painting's dynamic brushwork and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow contribute to the overall sense of movement and urgency, making the viewer almost feel the heat and turmoil of the scene.

"L'incendio di Sodoma" is considered an important work in Rapisardi's oeuvre and in the broader context of 19th-century Italian art. It reflects the period's fascination with historical and religious subjects, as well as the influence of Romanticism, with its focus on emotion and the sublime. The painting is also an example of the academic art tradition, characterized by its formal composition, clear narrative, and polished technique.

Held in high esteem for its artistic and historical value, "L'incendio di Sodoma" continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the canon of biblical art and for its reflection of the cultural and artistic currents of its time. The painting is a testament to Michele Rapisardi's talent and his ability to bring to life one of the most dramatic stories from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
