1690 Biblical Brethren Brother Brothers Genesis Identify Identifying Identity Recognise Recognising Reveal Reveals Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th century print depicts a poignant moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis, as Joseph reveals his true identity to his bewildered brethren. The scene is set in Egypt, where Joseph, sold into slavery by his envious brothers decades earlier, has risen to become a powerful and prosperous ruler. The brothers, having come to Egypt seeking aid during a famine, are brought before Joseph, who, after a series of tests and revelations, finally unveils his true identity to them. The print captures the emotional intensity of the moment, with Joseph gesturing towards himself, his brothers looking on in shock and disbelief. The intricate details of the artwork, with its rich colors and ornate borders, transport us back to a time when biblical stories were brought to life through the art of printmaking. This print is a testament to the enduring power of the story of Joseph and his brethren, and the timeless themes of family, identity, and forgiveness that resonate with us even today.
