Giuseppe Gambarini (Bologna, 17 March 1680 - Casalecchio di Reno, 11 September 1725) Loth and the daughters Oil on canvas; Measurements: cm H 73 x W 93; frame H 88 x W 108 x D 5,5 The painting, of beautiful pictorial quality, depicts the biblical scene of Lot and his daughters, with Sodom set on fire in the background, and is stylistically attributable to the italian painter Giuseppe Gambarini (Italy, Bologna, 17 March 1680 - Casalecchio di Reno, 11 September 1725).
