1690 Biblical Brethren Brother Brothers Encounter Genesis Meeting Testament

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts a poignant moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis, as Joseph (third from right) reunites with his long-lost brethren. The scene is set in Egypt, where Joseph, now a powerful and prosperous ruler, has disguised himself to test his brothers' loyalty and integrity, having been sold into slavery by them years ago. The brothers, unaware of Joseph's true identity, have come to Egypt to plead for food during a famine. In this image, they humbly bow before Joseph, who stands with his council, as they present their younger brother Benjamin as a sign of good faith. The brothers' expressions convey a mix of fear, awe, and relief, as they confront the brother they thought they had lost forever. The intricately detailed print, with its rich colors and dramatic lighting, captures the emotional intensity and complexity of this biblical encounter. The Old Testament story of Joseph and his brethren is a powerful tale of forgiveness, redemption, and the bonds of family, and this print offers a striking visual representation of that timeless theme.
