TIME Photo Essay: The Art of Joseph: Joseph's limited profile in Scripture eventually inspired his admirers to greater feats of pious interpretation, resulting in a colorful and varied cavalcade of carpenters. Death of St. Joseph, c. 1740, Piazzetta Giambattista. The Bible does not record Joseph's death; but its very absence eventually convinced interpreters that the causes must have been natural. Eventually this produced a Catholic model for a good death attended by Jesus and Mary. PHOTO BY ART MUSEUM OF ESTONIA, BRIDGEMAN ART LIBRARY/EVERETT
