About the piece
Johann König’s 1625 depiction of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife is a masterpiece of Baroque narrative, painted with the luminous detail characteristic of oil on copper. The composition pulses with energy as the figures pull away from each other, their struggle framed by rich drapery and a tiled interior that demonstrates the artist's command of perspective and light.
