"Joseph: A Renaissance Icon of Devotion and Love" The artistic legacy of Joseph in the High Renaissance is a testament to his significance within religious iconography. From Raphael's delicate drawings in Florence's Uffizi Gallery to Michelangelo's masterful depiction at the British Museum, Joseph is portrayed as an integral part of the Holy Family.
