Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors

Genesis 37

The coat that marks Joseph as his father's favorite, and the envy it sets in motion among his brothers — the opening scene of the longest story in Genesis.

About this piece

This scene is one of nine in an original Old Testament series built as a single visual system — one palette, one geometry, one light across all of them, with no black outline and no reused stock or public-domain engravings. It works for catechesis on jealousy, forgiveness and providence, and holds up just as well as a standalone piece or alongside the rest of the series.

Because it's vectorized, the same artwork scales from a parish bulletin insert to a full-bleed banner without being redrawn.
