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. The woodcut from the Cologne Bible, created between 1478 and 1480, beautifully captures this pivotal moment in Joseph's life. In the image, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding before our eyes. Joseph is seen being cast into a deep pit by his own brothers out of jealousy and resentment. The crowd surrounding them adds to the intensity of the moment, with onlookers expressing shock and concern for Joseph's fate. The medieval setting further enhances the historical context of this biblical event. A knight on horseback stands nearby, symbolizing power and authority. A dog faithfully accompanies its master while sheep graze peacefully in the background. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, creating a sense of depth that draws us into this ancient tale. Each detail meticulously carved into the woodcut tells a story within itself - from intricate armor shields to camels waiting patiently in anticipation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Sarin Images / The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of both faith and human nature. It prompts reflection on themes such as betrayal, forgiveness, resilience, and ultimately redemption – all central elements found within religious texts like Genesis. This print invites us to delve deeper into history while appreciating artistry that has stood the test of time.
