EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Joseph In The Pit" we are transported back in time to witness a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Joseph, son of Jacob. Created around 1500 BC, this engraving after a painting by Northcote beautifully captures the intensity and emotion of the moment. The image depicts a teenage boy, Joseph, being lowered into a deep pit by his brothers. His vibrant coat of many colors lies discarded on the ground as a symbol of their jealousy and betrayal. Surrounding him are shepherds with their crooks, emphasizing the rural setting where this crime takes place. The young man's face reflects both fear and determination as he finds himself tied up with ropes at the bottom of the pit. The composition highlights his vulnerability against the harsh reality he faces. This portrait format print brings to life an important episode from the Old Testament, reminding us of timeless themes such as family dynamics, envy, and resilience. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for redemption. Preserved through centuries and now available through Archive Photos/Getty Images' collection at Fine Art Storehouse, this remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into ancient narratives while appreciating its artistic merit.
