EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Joseph cast into the pit by his brethren" depicts a pivotal scene from the biblical story of Joseph. Created by Bendixen, Siegfried Detler in the 19th century, this print showcases the artist's remarkable attention to detail and skillful use of color. The image portrays a dramatic moment when Joseph is betrayed by his jealous brothers and thrown into a deep pit. The anguish on Joseph's face is palpable as he looks up at his siblings with disbelief and despair. The composition masterfully captures the tension and emotional turmoil within this tragic event. Published as part of Thomas Varty's Preceptive Illustrations of The Bible series, this particular copy dates back to November 10th, 1848. It is worth noting that these illustrations were published over several years with varying hand-coloring techniques. As we gaze upon this powerful engraving, we are reminded of the timeless themes present in biblical stories – betrayal, forgiveness, and resilience. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of humanity's complex nature and our capacity for both good and evil. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into one of the most compelling narratives found within religious texts.
