Lot's wife (center) turned into a pillar of salt during Sodom's destruction (Nuremberg Chronicle, 1493). The story appears to be based in part on a folk legend explaining a geographic feature. [3] A pillar of salt named "Lot's wife" is located near the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel. [4]
The story, recounted in the Book of Genesis, concerns the family of Lot who have fled the destroyed city of Sodom (visible burning in the background of the painting). Lot's wife disobeyed instructions not to look around and was turned into a pillar of salt – her form is just visible in the left background of the painting.
