Englen åbenbarer sig for Josef 1803

"Englen åbenbarer sig for Josef" (The Angel Reveals Himself to Joseph), painted in 1803 by Danish artist Hans Hansen, is a powerful and dramatic representation of the biblical story of Joseph. The painting portrays a moment of divine revelation, with an angel appearing to Joseph, who is seated in contemplation. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Hansen's mastery of light and shadow to emphasize the emotional intensity of the scene and capture a sense of divine presence. The realism of the figures and the carefully composed setting make it a compelling and emotionally charged portrayal of the biblical narrative.
