Joseph, c. 1590
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the Flemish artist Jacques de Gheyn II (1565-1629), part of his series "The Twelve Sons of Jacob." This striking monochromatic image depicts the biblical figure Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, with an expressive and thoughtful demeanor. Joseph is shown wearing a richly textured robe and turban, symbolic of his Egyptian royal status. He is depicted with a hand gesture, possibly indicating a dream or a prophecy, adding an intriguing layer of mystery to the image. The engraving, created during the 1590s, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Jacques de Gheyn II. The intricate details, from the folds of Joseph's robe to the delicate lines of his facial features, showcase the artist's exceptional skill. The contrast between the white turban and the dark background further emphasizes the subject's presence and importance. This image is a significant representation of the Old Testament story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers but rose to become a powerful Egyptian leader. The engraving not only captures the essence of the biblical narrative but also highlights the themes of family, fatherhood, and heritage. "Joseph, c. 1590" is an essential addition to any collection focusing on European art from the 16th century. Its timeless appeal and intricate detail make it a captivating piece for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone interested in the rich history of religious art. This engraving is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic heritage.
