The Story of Joseph (Furnishing Fabric), Rouen, c. 1820 - A Tapestry of Biblical Intrigue and Exotic Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of furnishing fabric from the early 19th century, depicting scenes from the biblical tale of Joseph. Created by an unknown artist in Rouen, France, this exquisite design transports us to ancient Egypt with its intricate details and rich symbolism. The fabric tells the story through four distinct scenes: "La coupe trouvee dans le sac de Benjamin" depicts the discovery of a cup in Benjamin's bag; "Joseph expliquant le songes" portrays Joseph explaining Pharaoh's dreams; "Chastete de Joseph" captures his refusal to succumb to Potiphar's wife's advances; and finally, "Joseph vendu par ses freres" shows him being sold by his own brothers. Designed by Francois Pieters after Charles Abraham Chasselat and engraved by Tony Johannot, this cotton plain weave fabric is adorned with palm trees that evoke an exotic ambiance reminiscent of Mizraim. The monochrome black-and-white palette adds depth and elegance to each scene while emphasizing their timeless significance. As we admire this heritage art piece within the walls of the Art Institute Chicago, we are reminded not only of its decorative beauty but also its profound connection to Christianity. It serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity and inspires contemplation on themes such as faithfulness, dreams fulfilled against all odds, and moral fortitude. With every glance at this extraordinary furnishing fabric print, we are transported back in time – immersed in a world where kings ruled over vast empires and individuals faced trials that tested their character.
