About the piece
Created in 1699 by Nicolas Bertin, this oil on panel work masterfully captures the dramatic biblical encounter between Joseph and Potiphar's Wife. The composition is defined by the theatrical contrast of Joseph's vibrant lapis-blue cloak against the warm, luminous skin tones and the dark, heavy drapery of the bed chamber, showcasing the refined French Baroque style.
