Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar 1620 - 1654

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The image showcases Joseph, a young man, resolutely rejecting the advances of Potiphar's wife, who is seen in the background. The scene is set in a lavish interior, highlighting the contrast between Joseph's virtuous refusal and the temptation he faces. This print, a typical example of religious art from the Dutch Golden Age, explores themes of virtue, temptation, and the power of faith.
