EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Joseph in the centre being sold by his brothers standing above a well" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by Master of the Die, an Italian artist known for his exquisite engravings, this piece beautifully captures a biblical scene from the Book of Genesis. In this powerful image, we witness Joseph at the center of attention as he is being sold by his own brothers. Standing above a well, their faces reveal conflicting emotions - remorse and greed intertwine on their features. The presence of camels on the right hints at an impending trade or journey that will separate Joseph from his family. The meticulous details and masterful shading in this engraving transport us to a time when religion played a significant role in art. Raphael Sanzio's influence can be seen through Master of the Die's skillful execution, reflecting both Christian and Jewish heritage. Displayed within The Met museum, this artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's complex nature - our capacity for betrayal alongside our yearning for redemption. It invites contemplation about themes such as faith, family dynamics, and personal growth found within religious texts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it not only showcases artistic excellence but also provides us with an opportunity to reflect on timeless moral lessons embedded within ancient scriptures.
