In her dream, the figure of Joseph appears above her, illuminated by a shaft of divine light cast down by angels who emerge from heavy night clouds. He is dressed as a Mughal prince. She is the wife of a wealthy Egyptian. The two of them will never be together — which is precisely the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene comes from Jami's Yusuf va Zulaykha, the great Persian poem of the 15th century that retells the Joseph story as a mystical romance. In Jami's telling, Zulaykha's consuming love for Joseph is an allegory for the soul's relationship with God. The beloved is always at a distance. The longing is the path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting comes from the Amber Album, a Mughal manuscript assembled for a royal collection in the 17th century. The setting is characteristically Mughal: a tiled terrace, an architectural frame, a night sky articulated with dark clouds and divine light. Joseph appears dressed in the costume of the very court for which the painting was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frames shown are for display purposes only and are \u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e with the artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs these are made-to-order designer pieces, expect minor \u003cstrong\u003ecolour variations\u003c\/strong\u003e from the displayed artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brahm","offers":[{"title":"24 x 31 in","offer_id":45151602802711,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 x 36 in","offer_id":45151602835479,"sku":null,"price":127.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 x 42 in","offer_id":45151602868247,"sku":null,"price":162.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7711\/9511\/files\/TheDreamofZulaykha_CanvasClothPrint_c.1670.png?v=1781637594","url":"https:\/\/www.brahmcollection.com\/products\/the-dream-of-zulaykha-canvas-cloth-print-c-1670","provider":"Brahm Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
