"Giuseppe e la moglie di Putifarre" (Joseph and Potiphar's Wife) is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). This work is an interpretation of the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, a theme that has been widely depicted in art history. The story, originating from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, tells of Joseph, a Hebrew youth sold into slavery in Egypt, who rises to power in the household of his Egyptian master, Potiphar. Potiphar's wife attempts to seduce Joseph, but he resists her advances. When he rejects her, she falsely accuses him of attempted rape, leading to his imprisonment.

Mattia Preti, known for his dynamic painting style and dramatic use of light and shadow, brings this narrative to life with a Baroque sensibility that emphasizes the emotional and psychological dimensions of the scene. The painting likely dates from the mid-17th century, a period when Preti was active in Southern Italy and Malta, creating works for churches and private patrons.

In "Giuseppe e la moglie di Putifarre," Preti's mastery of chiaroscuro and his vigorous brushwork contribute to the intensity of the encounter between Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The composition often features the figures prominently, with Joseph depicted in the act of fleeing from the advances of his master's wife, who is usually shown in a state of emotional agitation and physical disarray, indicative of her unrequited desire and subsequent wrath.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its interpretation of a complex biblical story that addresses themes of virtue, power, and innocence. As with many of Preti's works, this painting reflects the artist's ability to convey narrative drama and to capture the human form with a sense of movement and realism.

While the exact location and provenance of "Giuseppe e la moglie di Putifarre" may not be well-documented, Preti's works are held in numerous public and private collections around the world. His paintings are considered important contributions to the Baroque period, and they continue to be studied for their stylistic and thematic contributions to the art of the 17th century.
