The latest from JSTOR

👁 A black and white engraving from 1512 depicting three figures seated on the floor of a prison cell, their feet bound by a chain. The central figure, Joseph, gestures toward two other prisoners as he interprets their dreams. Above each prisoner's head floats a circular vision — one showing a figure carrying a basket, the other showing a figure being hanged. The scene is rendered in fine crosshatched lines characteristic of early sixteenth-century Northern European printmaking, with classical columns framing the background.
