"The Dream of St. Joseph" is a notable oil painting by French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, believed to have been created around 1640. This work is a fine example of La Tour's mastery of chiaroscuro and his unique interpretation of religious subjects through the use of dramatic lighting and intimate compositions. The painting depicts the biblical figure of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ, experiencing a divine revelation in his sleep.

In the artwork, St. Joseph is shown in a moment of vulnerability and contemplation, illuminated by a soft, ethereal light that suggests the presence of the divine. The light not only highlights the saint's expression but also serves to create a spiritual atmosphere, a hallmark of La Tour's style. The detail of the painting focuses on the expression and posture of St. Joseph, capturing the emotional weight of the dream in which an angel instructs him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the infant Jesus to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents.

"The Dream of St. Joseph" is part of a series of nocturnal scenes painted by La Tour, which are characterized by their quietude and the use of candlelight to create a sense of intimacy and reflection. The painting is a testament to La Tour's ability to convey complex theological themes through simple, yet powerful visual narratives. It is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its contribution to the understanding of 17th-century French painting, particularly within the context of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, which sought to use art as a means of religious persuasion and renewal.

The painting is considered an important work in Georges de La Tour's oeuvre and is frequently studied for its artistic and historical significance. It is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes in France, where it continues to be an object of admiration and scholarly interest.
