About the piece
Attributed to the Neapolitan master Gaspare Traversi, this early 18th-century oil painting depicts the biblical figure Job in his state of affliction. Utilizing a striking chiaroscuro technique, Traversi highlights the physical and emotional tension between Job and his wife, whose animated gestures and expression provide a sharp contrast to his weary, prayerful resignation. The work is a superb example of the Neapolitan school's ability to blend sacred narrative with a raw, earthly naturalism.
