About the piece
Created around 1668 by Italian Baroque master Luca Giordano, this painting captures the psychological tension of the biblical figure Job in his moment of trial. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro emphasizes the physical presence of the figures and the somber, contemplative atmosphere of the narrative, characteristic of the Neapolitan school's intense realism.
