Jozef legt de farao's dromen uit 1607

"Jozef legt de farao's dromen uit" (Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dreams) is a 1607 etching by Italian artist Sisto Badalocchio (1585-1619). The artwork depicts the biblical story of Joseph interpreting the dreams of the Pharaoh. Joseph, standing on the left, is gesturing towards the Pharaoh, who is seated on a throne. The scene takes place in a palatial setting, with a view of a landscape beyond the arches. This etching is a fine example of Badalocchio's skill in capturing detail and movement, demonstrating the artist's ability to convey narrative through his art. The work is also notable for its use of light and shadow, which contributes to the dramatic effect of the scene.
