EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Joseph the Patriarch, sold by his ten jealous brothers who want to make him disappear" depicts a powerful biblical scene that evokes a range of emotions. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the essence of this tragic moment from the Bible. In this image, we witness Joseph, a young child with an innocent face and sorrowful eyes, being sold by his envious brothers. Their jealousy is palpable as they conspire to remove him from their lives forever. The engraving portrays the sadness and violence surrounding this act of betrayal within Joseph's own family. The composition highlights the contrast between light and dark tones, emphasizing both hopelessness and resilience. It serves as a reminder of how envy can lead to destructive actions even among those closest to us. Religious symbolism is evident throughout the artwork; it reflects themes such as faith, brotherhood, and divine intervention in human affairs. This depiction also sheds light on societal issues like commerce on the black market during that era. Stefano Bianchetti's expertise in capturing intricate details brings life to every element in this print. His work not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also invites viewers to reflect upon timeless moral lessons found within biblical stories. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of our shared humanity and encouraged to contemplate how our choices impact others around us – especially those whom we should hold dear.
