Jozef ontvlucht Potifars vrouw en Jozef door Potifars vrouw beschuldigd 1791

This pair of engravings by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depict two scenes from the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The first scene portrays Joseph fleeing from the advances of Potiphar's wife, while the second depicts Potiphar's wife falsely accusing Joseph of assault. Fokke, known for his detailed drawings and mastery of light and shadow, utilizes these techniques to bring dramatic depth to the scenes, adding to their narrative impact. These engravings, dating back to 1791, demonstrate Fokke's skill in depicting biblical stories with a focus on emotion and visual storytelling. The works are part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
