EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the Southern Netherlands in 1575, where an anonymous artist skillfully depicts a dramatic scene from biblical times. The artwork portrays the infamous encounter between Joseph and Potiphar's wife, as she attempts to seduce him into her bed. The central focus of the image is on a naked woman, Potiphar's wife, who exudes sensuality and desire. Her alluring gaze and suggestive posture leave no doubt about her intentions. Meanwhile, Joseph stands resolute, resisting temptation despite her advances. Intriguing details surround the main characters: a fallen jug symbolizing disrupted domesticity lies on the ground nearby. On the left side of the composition, a barking dog adds an element of tension and urgency to this forbidden liaison. Interestingly enough, just before our eyes catch this intense moment between Joseph and Potiphar's wife, we notice a playful cat engaging with its prey—a mouse—perhaps serving as an allegory for deceit or manipulation. Through masterful use of oil paint on panel, this artwork captures both human emotion and intricate storytelling within its dimensions of 104.5 cm by 160 cm by 13.5 cm. As we admire this historical piece from centuries ago, let us reflect upon themes such as temptation versus virtue that continue to resonate with audiences today.
