Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

And to you, sweet Mary-Lou!

[etabeta]

The joy of little Benjamin in seeing his brother again is evident in many of these paintings. Great images.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The agony of Jacob in letting him go was matched by the joy of Joseph in seeing him.

[null and void]

#9, not Great Art, but moving to anyone who has ever cried alone.

[telescope115]

One of most beautiful stories of the Old Testament!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well said.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There were a few years there when Joseph didn’t think so, Pete, but all’s well that ends well.

[telescope115]

Absolutely!🙂

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Tissot has a remarkable series here…but does not #19 look like a 70’s rock idol before his adoring fans?

[Hebrews 11:6]

With our cultural context, sure.

But Joseph, as he explained, was well aware how God superintended his whole ordeal (which was here coming to a head). Such awareness must lead to exultant personal worship, which is what I presume Tissot is portraying here.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ The joy of little Benjamin in seeing his brother again is evident in many of these paintings. Great images.”

Bourgeois in #13 really struck me.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good afternoon, Dan - thanks very much for all the recognition-themed Biblical Art. Lots of Tissot!

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[etabeta]

Yes, #13 is great. Wonderful subject for a painter.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Apparently, Tom, Tissot was profoundly moved by Joseph’s epic story—and we are beneficiaries.

[delchiante]

Great selections..
I am drawn to #28.
I’d borrow from that if I was ever asked to tell the story of Joseph meeting his brothers..

[rusureitflies?]

Hello, was Benjamin alive when Joseph was sold to the Ishmaelites?

[jjotto]

Yes, Benjamin was born before Joseph’s sale. Rachel’s death and Benjamin’s birth in Gen 35. Joseph’s sale in Gen 37.
