Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar 1585

This engraving, titled "Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar" and dated 1585, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The anonymous artist uses intricate linework to capture the drama of the moment, as Potiphar's wife attempts to seduce Joseph, who is resisting her advances. This small-scale print, created in the Netherlands during the late Renaissance, exemplifies the enduring popularity of biblical narratives in art. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the era through its detailed depiction of figures and furnishings.
