"Joseph Interpreting the Pharaoh's Dreams" is a 15th-century miniature painting by French artist Jean Colombe, renowned for his detailed and vibrant illuminations. The artwork is part of a rich tradition of biblical illustration in medieval European manuscript art. Colombe, active from the 1460s to the early 1500s, is best known for his contribution to the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous and lavishly decorated Books of Hours.

This particular miniature is believed to depict a scene from the Book of Genesis, where Joseph, who is gifted with the power of dream interpretation, explains the meaning of Pharaoh's dreams. According to the biblical narrative, Joseph's ability to interpret the dreams foretelling seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine earns him a high position in the Egyptian court, ultimately allowing him to save Egypt and his own family from starvation.

In "Joseph Interpreting the Pharaoh's Dreams," Colombe's mastery is evident in the intricate details and the use of rich colors that bring the scene to life. The composition typically would show Joseph, often depicted as a young and handsome figure, standing before the Pharaoh, who is seated on his throne, surrounded by his courtiers. The use of perspective, architectural elements, and the portrayal of figures reflect the artistic conventions of the time, as well as Colombe's personal style.

The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as an example of the cultural and religious contexts of the period. It serves as a testament to the importance of religious narratives in medieval Europe and the role of art in both illustrating and disseminating these stories. As an illuminated manuscript, it would have been a luxury object, likely commissioned by a wealthy patron, which further underscores the intersection of art, religion, and social status during the Renaissance.
