Jozef verklaart de dromen van de bakker en de schenker 1610 - 1655

This etching by Pieter Fransz. de Grebber, created between 1610 and 1655, depicts the biblical story of Joseph interpreting the dreams of the baker and the cupbearer. The scene, set in a dark, confined space, showcases the artist's skill in using light and shadow to highlight the figures' expressions and gestures. The dramatic composition, with Joseph standing prominently in the center, emphasizes the importance of his interpretation. De Grebber's use of etching, a technique well-suited for conveying subtle details, allows for a nuanced portrayal of the characters and their emotions. The etching's intimate scale, measuring just 147 mm in height and 205 mm in width, adds to its introspective character. This artwork is a testament to de Grebber's talent in capturing the drama and emotional weight of biblical narratives.
