EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JOSEPH AND THE PIT" takes us back to the biblical story of Joseph, as depicted in Genesis 37:18-28. In this woodcut from the Cologne Bible dating back to 1478-80, we witness a dramatic scene unfold before our eyes. The image portrays Joseph being cast into a deep pit by his jealous brothers. The medieval setting adds an air of authenticity and historical significance to the artwork. A crowd gathers around the pit, witnessing this act of betrayal with shock and disbelief etched on their faces. Amidst the chaos, a dog barks at the commotion while a knight on horseback observes from afar. The equestrian figure symbolizes power and authority, perhaps representing one of Joseph's brothers who orchestrated this cruel act. Intricately detailed, we can see sheep grazing nearby and men wearing medieval attire carrying shields. This woodcut not only captures a pivotal moment in religious history but also provides insight into German art during that era. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an opportunity to own this remarkable piece that encapsulates themes such as brotherhood, jealousy, faithfulness, and ultimately redemption - elements that continue to resonate across different cultures and religions today.
