Jozef verkoopt koren aan zijn broers / Jozef verklaart de droom van de farao 1615 - 1651

This pair of engravings by Hans Janssen, created between 1615 and 1651, depict two scenes from the biblical story of Joseph. The left engraving shows Joseph selling grain to his brothers, who have come to Egypt seeking food during a famine. The right engraving depicts Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh’s dream, which is related to the famine. These prints, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, are excellent examples of illustrative art in the early 17th century.
