This 19th-century print by Johan Noman, titled "De beelden die g'u hier op deze prent ziet geven, / Vertoonen u een schets van jozefs kuische leven", is a series of nine woodcuts depicting scenes from the life of Joseph, a biblical figure known for his virtue and resilience. The print is characterized by detailed depictions of figures and settings, capturing the narrative's drama and emotion. The woodcuts are arranged in a grid format, each panel accompanied by a caption in Dutch, making the print accessible to a general audience and promoting understanding of the biblical story. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic tradition of illustrating religious narratives through woodcuts, demonstrating the power of visual storytelling in engaging with faith and morality.
