![[Lot and his Daughters]](jpegs/40299.jpg)
[Lot and his Daughters] Lot digne par ses Saintes moeurs / Déchaper au courroux celeste. / Qui sur tant d'infames pecheurs / Fit pleuvoir un feu si funeste [...]
peint par N. Vleughels J. Chereau sculp.
à Paris chez F. Chereau graveur du Roy rue S. jaque aux 2 pilliers dor avec privil. du Roy [c.1725]
Very fine engraving, platemark 290 x 365mm (11½ x 14¼"), with very large margins.
Lot and his daughters escaped the burning city of Sodom (seen in the distance here, lower right) to dwell in a mountain cave. His daughters, fearing that they would not be able to have children in any other way, plied their father with wine in an episode depicted by many artists. Engraved after a painting by Nicolas Vleughels (1668-1737), French artist and close friend of Watteau whose later years were spent in Rome as Director of the Académie de France. He was an outstanding teacher whose pupils included Carle Vanloo.

Ce vainqueur que tu vois se fit craindre en tous lieux et Compta pour un rien de Combatre les Dieux mais il succombe Enfin aux charmes de Venus que triomphe en secret et le rendre Confus. Coy que dans les perils ton Courage Signale apprend a Eviter les attraits de sa flame Si personne ne fut un mars pour la valeur que fut plus que Venus Fatal a la pudeur.
