1690 Biblical Chaste Chastity Escape Escaping Fleeing Genesis Innocent Potiphar Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Joseph (Genesis 39) and his unwavering commitment to chastity. The scene shows Joseph, dressed in simple attire, fleeing from Potiphar's wife as she reaches out to grab him, her expression one of desire and temptation. Joseph's determination to remain chaste is evident in his determined stride and focused gaze, as he escapes from the seductive advances of the married woman. The print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the enduring values of chastity and virtue during this period. The Old Testament narrative of Joseph's story has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and thinkers throughout history, and this image captures the essence of the tale's moral lesson. The composition of the print is striking, with the use of strong contrasts between light and shadow, and the bold, expressive lines of the figures. The artist masterfully conveys the tension and drama of the moment, while also highlighting the beauty and grace of the human form. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or biblical imagery, and serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to one's beliefs and values, even in the face of temptation and adversity.
