Painting Description
"Joseph Sold into Slavery" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis van Poelenburgh. This artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis in which Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, is sold by his jealous brothers to Ishmaelite merchants. The painting is a fine example of Poelenburgh's skill in rendering delicate figures and landscapes that reflect the Italianate influence on Dutch Golden Age painting.
Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594/1595 – 1667) was known for his small-scale history paintings and was particularly adept at incorporating classical and Italianate elements into his work, having spent a significant period in Italy. His paintings often feature elegant figures set within idyllic and arcadian landscapes. "Joseph Sold into Slavery" showcases Poelenburgh's ability to convey narrative and emotion through composition and the interplay of light and color.
The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and the landscape, with attention given to the expressions and gestures of Joseph and his brothers, which convey the dramatic tension of the scene. The use of light serves to highlight Joseph's innocence and the treachery of his brothers, while the landscape provides a serene backdrop that contrasts with the emotional turmoil of the narrative.
"Joseph Sold into Slavery" by Cornelis van Poelenburgh is an important work that contributes to the understanding of Dutch Golden Age painting and the cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Italy during the 17th century. The painting is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly study, reflecting its significance in the oeuvre of Poelenburgh and its value as a historical and artistic artifact.
