"Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" (1626–1630) is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Orazio Gentileschi. This work is a vivid representation of the biblical story of Joseph, found in Genesis 39, where Potiphar's wife attempts to seduce Joseph, who was then a slave in her husband's household. Gentileschi's interpretation of this tale is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which was a hallmark of Baroque art and particularly of the Caravaggisti, artists who followed the style of Caravaggio.

The painting measures 163.5 cm by 229.5 cm and is part of the Royal Collection, currently held in the United Kingdom. It showcases Gentileschi's skill in depicting human emotion and tension, with Joseph depicted in a moment of moral dilemma, resisting the advances of his master's wife. The composition is dynamic, with the figures almost entangled in a dance of desire and virtue, highlighting the dramatic moment of refusal.

Orazio Gentileschi, born in Pisa in 1563, was a contemporary of Caravaggio and an important figure in the early Baroque period. His works are characterized by their realism, psychological insight, and the aforementioned use of chiaroscuro. "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects his mature style, which he developed after moving to Rome in 1576, where he was influenced by the works of Caravaggio.

The painting's provenance includes a period in the collection of King Charles I of England, which indicates the high esteem in which Gentileschi's work was held during the 17th century. After a tumultuous history, which reflects the vicissitudes of European art collections through wars and political changes, the painting now resides in the Royal Collection, where it is appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.

"Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" by Orazio Gentileschi remains a significant work for its depiction of a moral and biblical theme, executed with the dramatic flair that defines the Baroque period. Its presence in the Royal Collection attests to its enduring appeal and the continued interest in the works of Gentileschi, who, alongside his more famous daughter Artemisia Gentileschi, contributed significantly to the art of the Baroque era.
