"Lot offering his daughters to the inhabitants of Sodom" is a medieval illumination by William de Brailes, an English artist active in the mid-13th century, specifically around 1230 to 1260. De Brailes is one of the few English illuminators of the period from whom signed works have survived, making him a significant figure in the study of Gothic manuscript illumination. This particular work is part of a series of biblical illustrations, showcasing de Brailes' skill in narrative representation and his ability to convey complex theological themes through imagery.

The illumination depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis (19:1-11), where Lot, a resident of Sodom, offers his two virgin daughters to an angry mob in an attempt to protect his angelic guests. This story has been a subject of moral and theological interpretation and controversy throughout the centuries. De Brailes' rendition is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures, expressive faces, and the use of color and gold leaf, which were characteristic of the Gothic style of the period. The work is executed on vellum, a fine-quality parchment, which was the primary medium for luxury manuscripts during the medieval period.

William de Brailes' illustrations are considered important for their artistic merit as well as their contribution to the understanding of medieval society's interpretation of biblical stories. His work on "Lot offering his daughters to the inhabitants of Sodom" is particularly valued for its insight into 13th-century religious beliefs, societal norms, and the role of art in conveying complex moral narratives. This illumination not only exemplifies de Brailes' mastery of miniature painting but also serves as a critical piece for studying the iconography of biblical stories in medieval art.

The piece is preserved in one of the few surviving manuscripts attributed to William de Brailes, which are held in collections around the world, including the British Library and the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Its significance lies not only in its artistic execution but also in its representation of medieval life and thought, offering scholars valuable insights into the period's cultural and religious contexts.
