"Joseph Interpreting Pharaoh's Dream" is a renowned engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his illustrations for the 1866 edition of the French translation of the Vulgate Bible, known as "La Sainte Bible." This work is one of the many biblical scenes that Doré depicted throughout his prolific career, showcasing his mastery in capturing the essence of dramatic narratives through his art.

The engraving depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Genesis (41:1-36), where Joseph, who had been sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and later imprisoned in Egypt, is called upon by the Pharaoh to interpret his troubling dreams. According to the biblical account, Pharaoh dreamt of seven fat cows being devoured by seven lean cows, and seven healthy ears of grain being swallowed by seven thin and blighted ears. Joseph interprets these dreams as a prophecy of seven years of abundance in Egypt, which will be followed by seven years of famine. Impressed by Joseph's insight, Pharaoh appoints him as his second-in-command to oversee the preparations for the impending famine.

Doré's engraving captures the moment of Joseph's explanation to Pharaoh, with a keen attention to detail and dramatic lighting that emphasizes the gravity of the scene. The characters are rendered with a sense of realism and emotion, characteristic of Doré's approach to illustration. The artwork is a testament to Doré's ability to blend his artistic skills with his deep understanding of the biblical text, creating images that resonate with viewers and enhance the storytelling of the scriptures.

As a significant contribution to biblical art and 19th-century illustration, "Joseph Interpreting Pharaoh's Dream" continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its impact on visual culture. Doré's illustrations have been widely reproduced and have influenced the depiction of biblical scenes in various media throughout the years. This particular engraving not only reflects Doré's talent but also serves as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time.
