The painting entitled Sodom and Gomorrah by John Martin is an important picture which illustrates the Bible story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The two cities were destroyed as punishment for the immorality of their people. Only Lot and his daughters, seen hurrying away, were saved. The fiery red colouring is characteristic of John Martin's dramatic scenes of destruction, which illustrated scenes from the Bible and literature. The whirling storm in the sky was also a frequent feature of his paintings. Buy this as a framed art print, canvas art print or art poster.
