"Joseph in Egypt" is a notable fresco by Jacopo Carucci, commonly known as Pontormo, an influential figure in the Mannerist movement of the 16th century. This artwork forms part of a series of frescoes created by Pontormo for the Medici family at the Villa Medici at Poggio a Caiano, in Tuscany, Italy. The frescoes, including "Joseph in Egypt," were commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, showcasing the grandeur and artistic patronage of the Medici dynasty during the Renaissance.

The fresco depicts a narrative from the Genesis story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, only to rise to become the vizier, second only to the Pharaoh in Egypt. Pontormo's rendition of "Joseph in Egypt" is celebrated for its dynamic composition, vivid use of color, and the emotional depth with which it portrays its subjects. The work is emblematic of the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures, unusual perspectives, and a departure from the balanced compositions of the High Renaissance in favor of a more expressive and complex arrangement.

Pontormo's innovative approach to narrative and form in "Joseph in Egypt" reflects the broader cultural and artistic shifts of the 16th century, as artists sought to convey emotion and movement in their work. The fresco is particularly noted for its intricate details and the way in which Pontormo uses light and shadow to emphasize the drama of the biblical story.

Today, "Joseph in Egypt" is recognized not only as a masterpiece of Mannerist art but also as a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious, social, and political milieu of Renaissance Italy. Its preservation and study continue to contribute to our understanding of this pivotal period in art history, highlighting the enduring legacy of Pontormo and the innovative spirit of the Mannerist movement.
