About the Item

French painter (18th century) - Joseph in Prison. 84 x 105 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed (not signed). The painting depicts the biblical episode of Joseph imprisoned in Egypt (Genesis 39-40). The scene takes place within an austere prison setting, defined by thick exposed stone walls, blind arched openings and barred windows. At the centre of the composition, a large grated opening reveals the figure of young Joseph, portrayed half-length behind the bars, the sole protagonist of the scene. The absence of other figures heightens the sense of isolation and confinement. The work is executed entirely in blue monochrome, a camaïeu technique common in eighteenth-century decorative painting, lending the scene a suspended, nocturnal atmosphere. Condition report: Lined canvas. Good state of preservation of the pictorial surface, with traces of old restoration and wear. - All shipments are free and professionally packed. - This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity. - Further details on the condition report are available upon request. *Please keep in mind that this work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy from the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
