Painting Description
"Joseph's Brothers Showing Their Father Proof That Joseph Is Dead" is a 15th-century miniature painting by French artist Jean Colombe. It is part of a richly illustrated manuscript of the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous and lavish Books of Hours from the medieval period. The painting depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph, found in the Book of Genesis, where Joseph's brothers deceive their father Jacob into believing that Joseph has been killed by a wild animal.
In the miniature, Colombe captures the moment of deceit and sorrow as the brothers present Jacob with Joseph's coat, which they have stained with the blood of a goat to fabricate evidence of his demise. The artist's attention to detail, use of vivid colors, and the emotional expressions of the characters reflect the style of the late Gothic period and contribute to the narrative's dramatic impact.
Jean Colombe is known for his intricate and expressive miniatures, and his work on the Très Riches Heures, which he took over from the Limbourg brothers after their deaths, showcases his mastery of the art form. The manuscript itself, commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, is renowned for its luxurious decoration and the high quality of its miniatures, making it a key work in the history of illumination.
The painting is a significant example of Colombe's contribution to the manuscript and of the artistic achievements of the late medieval period in Europe. It is held in high esteem not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, providing insight into the religious and cultural contexts of the time.
