The Story of Joseph 1476 - 1504

"The Story of Joseph" by Biagio d'Antonio is a detailed depiction of a scene from the biblical story of Joseph. The painting, completed between 1476 and 1504, is a fine example of Early Renaissance art in Florence. It depicts Joseph being brought before Pharaoh in Egypt, with a lively crowd and a bustling cityscape in the background. The scene's richness of detail is characteristic of Biagio's style, as is his use of perspective and light to create a sense of depth and realism. "The Story of Joseph" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
