EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Joseph and his brothers. In this dramatic scene, Joseph's siblings are seen throwing him into a deep pit, an act of betrayal that would forever change their lives. Taken from Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible, published in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully depicts the intensity and treachery of the event. The highly finished engravings throughout the book add depth and emotion to these timeless stories. The image transports us back to ancient times as we witness this shocking act unfold. It is a powerful reminder of the complexities within human relationships and the consequences that can arise from jealousy and envy. The Book of Genesis tells us that Joseph's brothers were driven by jealousy towards him due to their father's favoritism. Their sinister plot was fueled by resentment, leading them to conspire against their own flesh and blood. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative. We feel empathy for Joseph as he faces abandonment by those closest to him. Yet, it also serves as a testament to resilience and faith in times of adversity. This image not only showcases artistic craftsmanship but also highlights profound themes found within religious texts such as trust, forgiveness, redemption, and ultimately God's plan unfolding through even the darkest moments. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork for all generations to appreciate its significance in both religious contexts and literary arts. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared humanity across time periods while inviting contemplation on universal moral lessons found within sacred scriptures like Genesis.
