Artwork: Joseph Interprets the Dreams of the Baker and the Butler
Description: This painting depicts the biblical story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers and later became the second most powerful man in Egypt. In this scene, Joseph is interpreting the dreams of the baker and the butler, who are both in prison. The baker’s dream is that he is baking bread, and the birds are eating it. Joseph interprets this dream to mean that the baker will be executed. The butler’s dream is that he is serving wine to the pharaoh. Joseph interprets this dream to mean that the butler will be released from prison and restored to his former position.
