"Joseph Being Sold to Potiphar" is a fresco painting created by the Italian Mannerist artist Jacopo Carucci, commonly known as Pontormo, between 1515 and 1518. This work is part of a series of frescoes depicting scenes from the story of Joseph, a narrative taken from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The frescoes were commissioned for the bedroom of Pier Francesco Borgherini in Palazzo Borgherini in Florence, Italy, and were intended to celebrate the marriage of Pier Francesco to Margherita Acciaiuoli.

The scene captures the moment when Joseph, having been betrayed by his brothers, is sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh in Egypt. Pontormo's depiction is notable for its emotional intensity and the dynamic arrangement of figures, which reflect the innovative approach of the Mannerist style that was emerging during the High Renaissance. The fresco is characterized by its elongated forms, unusual color palette, and the complex interplay of gazes and gestures among the characters, which create a sense of psychological tension and narrative drama.

The fresco is part of a larger decorative scheme that includes works by other prominent artists of the time, such as Francesco Granacci, Bacchiacca, and Andrea del Sarto, who also contributed to the storytelling through their art. Pontormo's contribution to the cycle stands out for its expressive figures and sophisticated use of space, which breaks from the harmonious proportions and balance typical of earlier Renaissance art.

"Joseph Being Sold to Potiphar" is considered an important example of Pontormo's early work and a significant piece within the context of Mannerist painting. The frescoes in the Borgherini Chapel are often studied for their artistic innovation and the way they reflect the changing tastes and ideas of the period. Today, the fresco remains an invaluable piece of cultural heritage, offering insight into the artistic developments of 16th-century Italy and the enduring power of biblical narratives in visual art.
