EDITORS COMMENTS
Joseph and His Brothers" is a captivating black and white etching and engraving on laid paper, created by the renowned German artist, Joseph Wagner, around 1745. This exquisite work of art is an illustration from the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible, specifically from the Book of Genesis. The scene depicts Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, standing before his eleven jealous brothers, who had sold him into slavery in Egypt years ago, unaware of his true identity. This evocative print, with its intricate details and masterful shading, transports us back to the 18th century, inviting us to explore the rich cultural heritage of that era. The brothers, dressed in traditional garb, are depicted with strong, expressive faces, conveying a range of emotions from suspicion to guilt. Joseph, with his distinctive coat of many colors, exudes calm and wisdom, his eyes reflecting the knowledge of the trials he has faced and the eventual reunion with his family. This powerful depiction of the biblical story is a testament to the enduring appeal of the human condition and the timeless themes of family, brotherhood, and forgiveness. The print is an essential addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on religious or biblical themes. It has been exhibited in numerous galleries and art centers, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a popular choice for scholars, art enthusiasts, and collectors alike. Joseph Wagner's "Joseph and His Brothers" is a stunning example of the art of etching and engraving during the 18th century, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill and creativity. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the Old Testament.
