Jakob ontvangt het bebloede kleed van Jozef 1508 - 1564

This engraving, "Jakob ontvangt het bebloede kleed van Jozef," by Aertgen Claesz. van Leyden, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Jacob and Joseph. The artist, a Dutch painter and printmaker, captured the moment when Jacob receives the bloody coat of his son, Joseph, believing him to have been killed by a wild beast. The engraving's dramatic composition, intricate details, and strong sense of narrative, are characteristic of van Leyden’s style.
