Antique Antiquiy Biblical Brethren Brothers Dore Episode Genesis Gustave Makes Personage Pharaoh Scriptures Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century drawing by Gustave Dore depicts an iconic moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis, as Joseph makes himself known to his long-lost brethren. The scene unfolds in Egypt, where Joseph, now a powerful and prosperous figure as the Pharaoh's right-hand man, reveals his true identity to his shocked siblings who had sold him into slavery years ago, unaware that their benefactor was their beloved brother. The brothers, filled with guilt and fear, are gathered around Joseph, who sits regally on his throne, his expression one of forgiveness and understanding. The Egyptian setting, with its grand architecture and exotic details, adds to the sense of history and antiquity. This powerful drawing, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites us to delve deeper into the biblical story and to reflect on themes of family, forgiveness, and the passage of time.
