Joseph Sold Into Egypt

"Joseph Sold Into Egypt" is a powerful religious painting that depicts the biblical story of Joseph’s betrayal and sale by his brothers as he is taken into Egypt. Created using gouache, the artwork emphasizes Realism through detailed, lifelike portrayals of the figures and setting, enhancing the emotional intensity. The scene reflects the biblical account of the region known as Mizraim, often differentiated from archaeological evidence of ancient Egypt.
